No, in terms of being a bigger impact on the next level. And he makes sense, if you actually look at it.....

Look at Manziel: he was red-shirted as a true freshman, and played last season as a 2nd-year RS-freshman. Next season - 2013 - would be Manziel's 3rd and final season of college FB before becoming eligible to enter the NFL draft. Just like Clowney....

But are all the national sports media arguing that Manziel should sit out 2013 and prepare for the NFL draft? A QB - especially a mobile dual-threat QB - puts himself in more danger of injury than a DE does. Would ANYONE say that Manziel is more physically prepared to withstand the pounding he would take versus SEC defenses in 2013 than Clowney will be versus SEC offenses?

But no one talks about Football Johnny sitting out. Protecting his future.

Why, you say?

Because Football Johnny's future in football does not matter as much as Clowney's future does. That much is obvious, and Spurrier is simply stating the obvious.....

How does "he may be bigger than [JFF] right now" turn into "he may be a bigger impact [in the future] at the next level"

Now does not equal the future. Just saying. If you want to talk about NFL prospects then run away with it all you want. But that's not what was said originally by Spurrier.
