Jadeveon Clowney joined the Dallas Cowboys and hit the practice field in No. 42, a number formerly worn by Deuce Vaughn. The veteran edge brings size, power, and instant leadership to a front blending seasoned players with youngsters, already mentoring peers and offering pass-rush tips in early work with the defense.

Dallas is leaning into leadership this offseason, with Brian Schottenheimer pushing a culture of accountability. Clowney’s résumé—409 tackles, 58 sacks, peak 9.5 sacks in a season (Ravens 2023; Texans 2017)—gives the Cowboys a credible anchor to pressure quarterbacks and elevate the overall rush.
