If you were at training camp this past week and stayed late after practice, you might have noticed Kansas City Chiefs DE Frank Clark staying late afterward to work with the team’s rookies.
One of Clark’s goals this year, apart from getting his health and mental on track, is to be the best possible teammate he can be. Part of that means spending some extra time to help ensure that the incoming rookies are prepared and have all the tools they need to be successful.
“We got some young guys in,” Clark told reporters on Saturday. “I got George (Karlaftis) who’s a first-round guy who’s got to be ready to play. So at the end of the day, part of the things I’m doing at practice is helping him understand the system faster. As a rookie, I know how tough it can be coming in when you got all these different things going on. You got people – your family, friends – they (are) all on your back and stuff like that. And for a guy like George, a Big 10 guy, I’m a Michigan guy, so we got that Big 10 bond. I just want to see him be successful. When he lines up on the other side of me, inside, wherever he lines up, I just want to see him be successful at the end of the day.”
