Clemson DE and NFL prospect Da'Quan Bowers recovering from knee surgery

Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers is considered a top 5 pick on the April 2011 NFL draft, but that could change after news of a offseason knee surgery.

Tony Pauline of SI.com reported Bowers had a routine knee scope after Clemson's bowl game. The injury may keep Bowers from participating in all drills at the 2011 NFL Combine, which will be held February 23 – March 1.

Bowers led the nation in sacks in 2010.
