When discussing Clark late during OTAs, Colts Head Coach Jim Caldwell said the same thing: “He does a lot for us – even, sometimes, without the ball in his hand. Sometimes, the most critical things he does are without the ball, in terms of his pass-blocking and his run-blocking. He’s an exceptional route-runner, and as a big-play guy, he has just been outstanding for us.”
Caldwell also said something that has been evident to anyone who has watched Clark in the last few seasons, that whatever the statistics this season he is likely to improve and contribute. The Colts in the last decade have been one of the NFL’s elite teams for many reasons, chief among them QB Peyton Manning. But they also have excelled because of a group of core veterans who have been notable for their commitment to improving and winning, and because of that, they have become the team’s core. Manning is one such player. Wayne is another. C Jeff Saturday, LB Gary Brackett and others are, too, but Clark certainly is such a player.
