For the fourth time in four years, former No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick Jadeveon Clowney is looking for a new home. The Carolina Panthers released the 11-year veteran after just one season in Charlotte, where he recorded 5.5 sacks in 14 games but was part of a defense that allowed more points in a single season (534) than any other team in NFL history.

With Clowney's veteran presence and situational pass-rushing ability, the 32-year old will likely find a new home on another short-term deal for 2025-26.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Since 1967, 29 non-QBs have been selected first in the annual NFL Draft. How many can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
