Former South Carolina defensive end is still making jaw-dropping plays. It may not be for the Gamecocks anymore, but he had a freakishly athletic interception and touchdown run against the New England Patriots Sunday.

As Patriot quarterback Tom Brady was being sacked, the quarterback flung the ball into the air and Clowney jumped up to get it. After that, it was off to the races as the 6-foot-6 lineman showed every bit of his 4.53 40-yard dash time.

He returned the ball about 30 yards to the house to give the Texans a 20-14 lead in the first half, punctuated by mocking Rob Gronkowski's famous touchdown spike.

Coming into Saturday's game, Clowney had five tackles for the 1-1 Houston Texans, but has four tackles and two sacks so far on Sunday.
