02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Clark projects best in a 4-3 Cover-3 predominant scheme that values explosive, downhill MIKE linebackers with strong run-fit capabilities.
4-3 MIKEWill LBSpecial Teams Ace
Best role
Clark can immediately contribute as a rotational linebacker and core special teamer, eventually developing into an impactful starting MIKE with his elite athleticism and tackle radius.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit in a 3-4 two-gap system where his instincts and blitzing might be stifled by more static assignments and read-and-react play.
His athleticism and tackling prowess make him a valuable asset in schemes that allow him to play fast and attack downhill.
