Jadeveon Clowney has turned back the clock in his first season with the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore entered the season hoping that Clowney could add a veteran presence to its front seven, and the AFC North side have so far received much more from the outside linebacker. Clowney currently ranks second on the team in both quarterback hits (17) and sacks (7.5), which comes a year after he tallied a mere four quarterback hits and 2.0 sacks in his final campaign with the Cleveland Browns.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is well familiar with Clowney, especially as the longtime pass rusher spent one year with the Seattle Seahawks in the 2019 season. Four years later, Kittle sees that Clowney is still a force to be reckoned with.

"Clowney is Clowney," Kittle said during a press conference ahead of 16. "He's an alien, treated him like a very, very fast athletic like kind of like Chandler Jones when he was with the Cardinals.

"Just you don't know what he's going to do every single time."

Clowney has recorded nine quarterback hits and 1.0 sacks in three career games played against the 49ers.

Clowney and Kittle will see plenty of each other when the Ravens and the 49ers square off on "Monday Night Football."
