Overview

Clark has been a productive quarterback that has won a lot of games at one of college football’s premier programs. He is a strong kid with good arm strength but his lack of height and a low release gives pass rushers opportunities to knock the ball down at the line of scrimmage. He seems to overestimate his ability to thread the ball through small windows at times and will need to work on his decision making at the next level. Initially he may see the field as a "wildcat" type of quarterback but will likely never be more than a backup at the next level.

Analysis

Strengths

Has the arm strength necessary to make all the NFL throws and can fit balls into tight spots. Is a big, strong, athletic player with the ability to avoid the rush, buy extra time and even break some tackles. Has been productive during his career. Exhibits strong leadership skills and high character.

Weaknesses

Does not possess the ideal height to effectively scan the field from the pocket. Accuracy is only average partially because of inconsistent feet and drop mechanics. Decision-making needs some improvement, puts the ball in harm’s way too often. Has a low release point.
