Clowney secures $5 million NCAA insurance policy

Hey, if it’s good enough for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, it’s good enough for one of the front-runners for the 2013 version of the award.
South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney — he of the freakish 4.5 40-yard dash at 270-plus pounds — confirmed to reporters Thursday that he has indeed secured a $5 million insurance policy through the NCAA. That figure is the maximum amount allowed under current NCAA guidelines.
The premium for such a policy, which falls under the auspices of the “Exceptional Student-Athlete Disability Program,” is in the neighborhood of $40,000 annually. The NCAA will finance the the money needed to cover the premium — at a low-interest rate that would be paid back upon returning pro, incidentally — although the policy would only pay out upon a player suffering a career-ending injury.
If Clowney were to suffer an injury that negatively impacted his draft stock — he’s widely expected to make the early leap to the NFL in 2014 and is the prohibitive favorite to be the first player selected — but was not career-ending, the lineman would receive no money from the policy.
Clowney could also go through a private insurer to secure a policy, although the NCAA would not help with the payment of the premium in such a case.
There’s no word on whether Vincent Smith will seek a similar policy, although it’s better to be safe than sorry as you never know when you may run into Clowney during the postseason.

The poster is talking about the Clemson pro day hand-timed 40. The 4.5 40 that Clowney ran was also hand-timed.

Clowney's time was hand time. I will wait and see what he runs at the combine before I call him the next coming of Christ like you dirt peckers have done.

Really what is the argument. Fact is clowney will be as good as clowney wants to be. Another fact is he was being dominated in the bowl game and was taken out of the game until he made "the play". Even the most ardent coot should agree that clowney plays when clowney wants to play. He is a freak that can be ad good as he wishes. Let's see if his heart ever kicks in.
