A sick player being on Instagram during the game isn’t that big of a deal but it’ll be blown up considering the current state of things between Jadeveon Clowney and the Houston Texans.

His 24 sacks in three seasons rank third all-time for the school, and he left college ranked fifth in forced fumbles and tackles for loss among active big college players.
