Give him a year and RR will be dispensible.

If he sticks on the PS, fine. If not, oh well. The latest version of Packer fan love for the lessor players who can't make the team. Chastin West, Tori Gurley, Charles Johnson, etal.

Michael Clark , the 6'6" WR from Marshall has demonstrated that he has both the physical and the athletic ability to play at a high level in the NFL. What he lacks is the experience needed to compete at the starting WR level. GB's best move here is to place Clark on the Practice Squad where he can evolve into an extremely dangerous WR . I normally don't like "projects", but in this case I believe that it will pay off handsomely down the road . [twocents]

You can relax on Clark he will make PS if GB wants him there.

Here’s some background:
14-15 B-Ball at St Frances as a freshman he played 12 games 43 minutes total; lost his enthusiasm for B-Ball and
15-16 Walked-on at Marshall to play football and redshirted [due to transfer rules]
16-17 Was given a scholarship, became a starting WR and caught 37 passes; 632 yards and 5 TDs

W/ 2 years of eligibility and a damn scholarship Clark jumped. This makes no sense: the guy cant be too bright or something happened that we didn’t hear about.

That picture of the catch is pretty; but it is something every Small forward has done 1000x running the base line on the hoops court fronted by a smaller player. And there are hundreds of athletic 6’5 6’6 6’7 b-ball players with good hands that exit college every year not having NBA futures. If that’s all it took there’d be dozens of them in the NFL.

Also, over the last 5-6 years there has been a glut of WRs. Just about every team is just like us they have a roster full of ‘em and 1 or 2 WRs they’re trying to get on PS.

Maybe, most important, if you put him on the roster; he accrues a season and he becomes a FA one year sooner. If he has potential; you stick him on PS for 1 or 2 years; that means you’ll have low cost control over him for 5 or 6 years, respectively.

There is zero chance Clark doesn’t clear waivers. Even if he gains 200 yards Thursday.
No team will claim this guy; they’d have to put him on the 53.

And not sure why you’d want him. You spoke of rookies being “difference makers;” I of course look for rookies to contribute and this guy will be a 100% nothing burger in ’17, he’s just too raw, and way too small and double raw to play TE, the 2nd hardest position on this team to learn.

Not even sure I would want to waste one of the few Practice Squad positions on him. He would need to put on about 30 lbs and work on being a TE. We are not desperate for height. If Janis makes the team we would have 5 options at 6'3" or better with 34" verticals.

All this kid is at the moment is a goalline endzone player at best.
