CEILING POTENTIAL

Mid-Level Starter Potential

PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Clark is an instinctive, ball-hawking safety whose game is built on anticipation, processing, and feel for route concepts. He is at his best as a robber, split-field safety, or free-flowing zone defender, where he can read the quarterback and attack the football. While he lacks ideal mass and true sideline-to-sideline range to live as a single-high eraser, his instincts, leadership, and ball production give him clear value in zone-heavy, disguise-based defenses.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
