#4 Frank Clark

I truly didn’t think I would be writing Frank Clark as a Pro Bowl candidate early on in the 2021 season. But, this is less about how Frank Clark has played up until this point, and more about how Frank Clark has an outside shot to make the Pro Bowl in these last 7 Weeks. With Clark spending much of the early season getting healthy, it’s no wonder he hasn’t quite gotten back to full strength. As we make our way into December, Clark looks to be getting back to 100% at just the right time for a late-season surge and playoff run.

Clark has 2 sacks and 14 combined tackles through 8 games played in 2021. Even with these below-average numbers, Clark is still on track to reach his 2019 and 2020 self. While he probably won’t ever be as productive as he was his last year in Seattle with 13 sacks, Clark is still a dominant pass rusher who can become a game wrecker in the run game and pass game.

An outside shot to make the Pro Bowl last season, Clark seems to be making it a habit to shine brightest in the backstretch of the season. Even if he doesn’t make the Pro Bowl this year, we should all be happy Clark is back and healthy (and hopefully productive) for the stretch run in 2021.
