The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to add to their roster, signing safety Chuck Clark a couple of days ago. He has played in seven NFL seasons, mostly with the Ravens, but missed 2023 with an ACL injury and was with the Jets last year. The best parts of Clark’s game then, and through his career, have been tackling and run defense, qualities Pittsburgh has prioritized this offseason.
The goal of this article is to examine his last season, compare it to the league and current/former Steelers safeties, and also provide career numbers.
First, let’s look at overall tackling among players with a minimum of 700 total snaps (59 qualifiers), viewing Pro Football Focus (PFF) tackle grades, missed tackle rates, and total snaps for dot sizes:
