GREEN BAY – The computer screen was his classroom. Back in California, it was Kenny Clark’s primary means of communication with the happenings at 1265 Lombardi Ave.
Together with fellow Packers rookie Dean Lowry, Clark spent last spring’s organized team activities getting introduced to his new team and defensive line coach, Mike Trgovac, through a medley of Skype sessions and conference calls.
It wasn’t ideal, but it’s what was available due to a rule prohibiting rookies from participating in the offseason program until their school is out of session. In Clark’s case, that meant waiting until UCLA released for the summer to return to Green Bay and officially begin his NFL career.
