Of all of the Green Bay Packers' rookies participating in training camp this summer, few have more expectations placed on them as a rookie than Kenny Clark. Sure, linebacker Blake Martinez is the player taking the most snaps with the starters - as he has already started to look like the top option as a dime linebacker - but Clark is stepping into the role vacated by B.J. Raji - the starting nose tackle job.
After a week's worth of practices, however, Clark is playing well. He also is showing something that Raji did in his first few years: good pass-rushing ability. Clark's record in one-on-one pass-rushing drills has been impressive since the pads came on last Thursday, and it's nice to see him affecting the pocket and the quarterback.
The Packers take the field for an evening practice today, so keep an eye out for updates when the session starts at about 6:15 PM central tonight.
