NFL prospect Jadeveon Clowney signs Puma deal

Former South Carolina defensive end and top NFL prospect Jadeveon Clowney has signed an endorsement deal with Puma ahead of the Draft on Thursday night.

The projected first overall pick is expected to be a significant part of the company's upcoming marketing plans after making an impact at college level.

"I just want to be a part of something different. Why not change it up?" Clowney told ESPN.

However, due to the fact that Puma do not have a deal with the NFL, Clowney can't wear cleats with the Puma logo on the field.
