Clark

Clark has only played in one game in each of his two seasons since being selected with the No. 197 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The defensive back should get another shot elsewhere, but he’s likely a practice squad candidate at this point. The Jets claimed safety Godwin Igwebuike in a corresponding move.

Clark (6’3/220) made 15 starts in the Wolverines’ secondary, registering nine career pass breakups and three interceptions before tearing his ACL in September of last season. He did not work out before the draft. Highly regarded by NFL scouts entering 2016, Clark has experience at both safety and cornerback and possesses intriguing size and length as a developmental prospect with 33-inch arms. Clark also dealt with shoulder problems early in his college career and will have to demonstrate durability to get an extended NFL look.

He’s still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered at Michigan. Clark will be 12 months removed from surgery for Week 1, but he will miss at least the first six games of his rookie season.
