Former South Carolina Gamecocks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney wants the Atlanta Falcons to trade up in the 2014 NFL Draft to select him.

Former South Carolina Gamecocks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has revealed that he wants the Atlanta Falcons to trade up to select him in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The 21-year-old, who is considered one of the best prospects in the Draft after an outstanding college career with the Gamecocks, believes that the Falcons would be a good fit for him.

"I wish [the Falcons] could trade up for me," Clowney told ESPN.

"I hope I don't fall to No. 6. I like Atlanta — a lot. They're pretty good, they've got some guys from South Carolina on the team, also. And it's close to home."

Clowney notched 24 sacks during his three years with South Carolina.
