Jadeveon Clowney Wears Prison Jumpsuit to Texans' Halloween Party

Jadeveon Clowney's Halloween costume was likely not inspired by binge-watching Orange Is the New Black.

Per TMZ Sports, the Houston Texans edge-rusher wore an orange prison jumpsuit to a team party. Last week, ESPN The Magazine's Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr. reported that Texans owner Bob McNair said, "We can't have the inmates running the prison" while discussing players' protests of racial inequality during the playing of the national anthem.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, McNair met with Houston players Saturday morning and "expressed regret for his comments." Multiple Texans players kneeled before Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported players had considered peeling the Texans logo off their helmets.

It's possible Clowney purchased the costume weeks ago, but the timing seems like more than a coincidence.

UPDATE: Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 3 p.m. ET

Texans senior director of communications Amy Palcic told the Houston Chronicle's Fernando Alfonso III that Clowney said there "was no hidden meaning behind his Halloween costume."

"He was not taking a 'shot' at anyone," Palcic added. "It was just that—a costume at a Halloween party."
