#18 DAMONE CLARK VS MISS ST (2021)

#18 DAMONE CLARK 2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths

• He is freakishly athletic, tremendously talented, and has muscles from his upper body down to his lower body.
• He is a cerebral player with excellent recognition of run versus pass and excellent vision of the field.
• He is very aggressive, plays with a high and forever going motor, is always around the ball, making punishing hits, and rarely misses tackles.
• He has excellent sideline-to-sideline and tremendous closing speed.
• He can identify backs that are going into the flats or blowup wide-receiver screens.
• He will take on a lineman or back head-on and shed the block to make a tackle.
• He uses his speed to navigate through traffic and avoid contact to make tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
• He is a three-down back at the next level and has coverage skills.

Weaknesses

• He is coming off of a spinal fusion surgery performed after the NFL Combine and is anticipation that he will miss the entire 2022 season.
• Creative offensive coordinators will use his aggressiveness with play-action and misdirection plays.
• He will tend to lose sight with tight ends crossings the middle in his zone.
• He will allow too much cushion in zone coverages and not recognize routes behind him.​

​Draft Projection: 2nd - 4th Round

NFL Comparison: CJ Mosely (New York Jets)
