POSITIVES

A versatile player who had starts over three seasons, Jeremy Clark played at both strong safety and cornerback. A big, long, physical player with multiposition versatility, Clark was used to shut down underneath routes and take away the quick-hitters and bubble screens that are so popular in college football. He can live at the line of scrimmage and will get physical with receivers in a jam situation. He has the length and power to make a big impact when he gets his hands on the body of a receiver. Clark has the body type to gain weight (Michigan listed him at 206 pounds) and was 220 pounds at the combine. His versatility and upside will intrigue teams, but he's a project with little experience.

 

NEGATIVES

Clark tore his ACL and missed 10 games in 2016. He has not flashed ball skills in the past, notching just three interceptions in his 16 starts. Clark's film doesn't show a fast or explosive cornerback. He's very tall and stiff in his backpedal and has not shown the long speed to run vertically. He'll quickly bite on a pump fake and plays too aggressively in man coverage. Clark never started more than seven games in a season (2015) and is a raw prospect.

 

PRO COMPARISON: Adrian Amos, Chicago Bears

FINAL GRADE: 5.30/9.00 (Backup Caliber—Round 6)
