When Chris Clark got the call, he was sweaty, exhausted, and over the moon.
And waaaay too short on time.
For those who don’t know him yet — that means fans, but also a number off people within the Carolina Panthers’ own locker room — Clark is the veteran free agent tackle Carolina signed earlier this week after Daryl Williams was placed on injured reserve. He’s 6-foot-5, 305 pounds, and spent the past three seasons as a fill-in starter for the Houston Texans. Before that, he did the same for the Denver Broncos, protecting a five-time NFL Most Valuable Player, Peyton Manning.
