A different look at Danny Clark

by Ed Valentine on Oct 16, 2009 12:23 PM EDT in New York Giants News

The folks at FOX News sent me the video below. It is a look at New York Giants linebacker Danny Clark in a much different arena. One, by the way, he seems well-suited for.

Please do not turn comments on this into a political debate. That's not what it's here for, and I don't care about your views on the topics Clark discusses. It's just here because it's a nice reminder that NFL players, and athletes in general, can be much more than guys who show up on your TV screens to play games.

In a day of

the “me first”, “bling, bling” athlete, Clark sure did represent himself well. Can’t tag him with the dumb jock moniker.

Most definitely.

From the suit to the smile, class all the way.

Impressive.

Hope one day he can get involved in the business side of the game. He definitely knows what he’s talking about.

removing all political concerns about this issue

i’m glad that danny had the opportunity to get the message out there about what players face. the lack of health care and lack of concern given to injured or retired players has been a black eye on the NFL for a long time.

we often forget that the other 40 or so guys on a 53 man roster only make league minimum, which seems like a lot, but it can be cut off at any point in time leaving the player still responsible for bills.
