D.J. Swearinger speaks regularly with Jadeveon Clowney. The duo were teammates at South Carolina and could reunite again if the Texans opt for a potential once-in-a-decade defensive end instead of selecting a new starting quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

When Swearinger spoke with Clowney on Wednesday night, the much-discussed prospect delivered the same message he always gives his friend: help me be No. 1.

“He’s talking about, ‘Man, what’s the word?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I’m going to try my best to do what I can to get you here,’ ” said Swearinger, following a Texans community appearance Thursday at Harvard Elementary.

Texans general manager Rick Smith plans to speak with the second-year safety to ask about Clowney, Swearinger said. If the Texans select the 6-foot-6, 274-pound end — who hopes to break 4.40 in the 40-yard dash at next week’s draft combine in Indianapolis — the sight of 2012 NFL defensive player of the year J.J. Watt paired up with Clowney would be a defensive dream come true for Swearinger.

“Just having them two down on the D-line, it’d be unstoppable,” Swearinger said.

He added: “I’d just be yelling out, ‘Interception. Interception.’ That’s it.”

Swearinger said Clowney has an undeserved bad reputation and is an “unbelievable player.”

During their time with Gamecocks, the Texan said Clowney was a regular fixture in the weight room and did everything that was required of him.

“It’s just another J.J. Watt, but two-tenths (of a second) faster. … He has a heart for the game, he loves the game and you can’t pass that up, if you ask me,” Swearinger said.

Clowney excelled under former South Carolina strength and conditioning coach Craig Fitzgerald, who worked at Penn State before recently joining head coach Bill O’Brien’s new staff as the Texans’ head strength and conditioning coach.

“That’s somebody who kept (Clowney) straight,” Swearinger said. “That’s why I think it’d be a huge asset getting Clowney, because Fitzgerald always stayed on Clowney about everything and had him working 100 percent all the time. The work-ethic thing, I don’t think it’d be a problem.”

O’Brien has already made a noticeable impact with the Texans, Swearinger said. Oversized images of Pro Bowl players inside the tunnel and locker room-area of Reliant Stadium have been removed, while the safety believes his new coach will address discipline issues that plagued the 2-14 Texans last season.

“It’s not (about) individuals, it’s more team,” Swearinger said. “Anytime you can build team chemistry, that’s for everybody, and I’m looking forward to it.”

Swearinger again acknowledged his rookie season didn’t meet his expectations. While there were strong moments, he struggled with consistency and a key late-season personal taunting penalty during a road loss to Jacksonville captured the Texans’ lack of focus.

“When I hit it hard in March, it’s going to be a grind that I’ve never done before,” Swearinger said. “I’m trying to take this big step, my first year to my second year, and do big things.”
