You might say that former basketball player Michael Clark was a long shot to make the Green Bay Packers’ roster. He apparently thought so too.
Clark failed to report to training camp and instead has decided to retire.
Clark started the 2017 season on the Packers’ practice squad. However, he was brought up for the team’s final two games, catching four passes for 41 yards.
While that’s not anything amazing, the Packers chose to elevate Clark over 2017 fifth-round pick DeAngelo Yancey, who has presumably played football most of his life. Clark also had one more reception than Trevor Davis, who spent the entire 2017 season on the active roster.
