Some players suffer a sophomore slump. Others make a sophomore leap.
Like Green Bay Packers nose tackle Kenny Clark, he's one of the members of the latter's hallowed club.
Clark, 22, has proven to be a household name for the Packers' defense, essentially earning such a title for himself in 2017. While a multitude of players on the Packers' defense struggled last season in different facets, Clark was one of the few of the unit who gutted it out for 15 games. He missed one game due to a nasty ankle sprain suffered against the Baltimore Ravens in November.
