Clark is a scrappy football player both as a guard on offense and an end on defense. He has good size for both positions but could use some more overall strength. This guy is a real fighter, just when you think he has not been able to sustain the block he finds some way to recover. Looks a little awkward at times but finds a way to get the job done. Sometimes plays too high but other times, especially in short yardage situations and in the red zone, honkers downs and comes off with a flat back and gets underneath the defensive lineman's pads. Shows mobility when pulling but doesn't use the best technique getting out of his stance. Does, however show the ability to kickout the defensive end or turn upfield for the linebacker. Gives exceptional effort getting downfield for an extra block. A sound pass protector but needs to work on getting stronger in order to handle big defensive linemen. On defense is a very active end that comes off the ball quickly and takes good angles down the line of scrimmage. Uses hands well to ward off offensive blockers; separates and disengages. Takes proper pursuit angles downfield; quicker than fast. Clark can develop into a very good offensive guard; he has athleticism and a great motor. Simply needs to keep working on upper and lower body in order to get stronger.
