An injury-plagued 2024 season caused Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark to fall out of ESPN's top 10 ranking of defensive tackles entering the 2025 season. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler puts together the annual preseason rankings based on votes from coaches, executives and scouts. While Clark received votes among the top 10, he fell from No. 9 in the ranking entering 2024 to outside the top 10 -- and wasn't even an honorable mention -- entering 2025.
However, the injury context is important. Clark, 29, said he needed surgery in January to correct a foot injury suffered during the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
