Clark signs with CFL team

Former Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark, a two-time All-Big Ten first-team pick, signed a contract with the Calgary Stampeders on Monday.

Clark, who led the Nittany Lions to back-to-back double-digit winning seasons in 2008 and 2009, was not picked in April’s NFL draft. He got a tryout from the Washington Redskins during their first mini-camp, but did not leave with a contract offer.

Real quick here, great move by Clark and a solid pick up by the Stampeders. Although Calgary is three games into its season and has some good quarterbacks, including for Temple standout Henry Burris, Clark will have time to refine some of the weaknesses in his game (holding the ball too long, locking onto targets and consistency in hitting receivers in stride are the big three) and do it a professional level. Will he be a success? Only time will tell, but I wouldn’t count him out.
