It's been quite the up-and-down ride for linebacker Damone Clark since he was taken by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. And that's putting it about as mildly as possible.
For starters, just a few months after being drafted, the LSU alum underwent spinal fusion surgery, which cost him a decent chunk of his rookie campaign. To his credit, though, he played about as well as could be expected upon his return, recording 47 tackles and a pair of forced fumbles in 10 games, five of which he started.
With the Cowboys being a bit thin at the position in 2023, Clark started all 17 games in his second season, leading the team in tackles with 109.
