For the Seattle Seahawks, domestic violence charges would have made Frank Clark untouchable.
At least until those charges went away.
The agent for the former Michigan defensive end said that the Seahawks told Clark at the Scouting Combine in February the charges of hitting his ex-girlfriend would have taken him off their draft board.
“If he has these charges pending, we won’t draft him,” agent Erik Burkhardt recalled being told by the Seahawks, via Tom Pelissero of USA Today.
Of course, after the combine, he pleaded down to a fourth-degree misdemeanor charge of persistent disorderly conduct.
