Jadeveon Clowney said he just did 23 reps with 225 lbs this morning and he said he would run at combine and hopes for a 4.4.

George Godsey (#Texans new QB coach) never worked with Blake Bortles personally, so everything is speculation.

Report out has Manziel and Bortles atop #Texans draft list. Don't know if that's true, but this is: Texans consider JFF a viable 1st pick.

"The Louisville junior is my top-ranked player in the entire draft class. He’s poised in the pocket but shows the athleticism to pull the ball down and make plays with his feet. Pre- and post-snap, he’s intelligent and in command. How many college quarterbacks change the play at the line of scrimmage these days? Not many, but Bridgewater does it. And once the ball is in play, he’s smooth under pressure and shows the touch and ball placement needed to be elite."
