Clowney Credits Vrabel as the Smartest Coach He Played For, With Macdonald in Close Pursuit
Former No. 1 pick Jadeveon Clowney says Mike Vrabel was the smartest coach he ever played for, lauding his deep football knowledge, tough-love motivation, and empathy, while noting Mike Macdonald’s brilliance as more of a nerdy, explanatory style. Clowney credits Vrabel with teaching him how NFL run games work and how to maximize his gifts, and he even predicted a Super Bowl LX matchup between Seattle and New England, favoring Seattle on the line and defensive front.
