We all know in the recent years how good Clark is, a nose tackle’s job is not only to make sacks but last season, one of the best nose tackles in the game, the 24-year-old Clark recorded a career-high 62 tackles, six sacks, seven quarterback hits and a forced fumble for the Packers last season. Clark finished with 15 pressures while earning his first Pro Bowl appearance. Among nose tackles, Clark led the league in sacks in 2019 with two more than than Javon Hargrave (who finished with four sacks last season).
