You just know Micah is starting to sweat.

In anticipation of Clark being viable, yes, MP is sweating in anticipation of what could be, not a pipe dream, this is a very athletic and gifted LB becoming relevant.
Qs D basically starting just 2 LBs, MP gets moved around so much.
Upgrading LVE or Barr, is significant.
Clark will need to earn it first, and snap counts are coming early for him like Peters on OL.
Nothing ever wrong with improving depth, especially considering the upside.

Good for Clark. Worked hard to get to this place. Hopefully they are smart about how he progresses and there aren't any set backs. Curious to see how he translates to the League. Liked him at LSU from the year I remember seeing him.

Guy has speed just like Parson, guy flies to the ball. Guy has great closing speed on the pass rush.

Clark was viewed as one of the top LB heading into the Combine when they found the herniated disk which of course dropped his draft status. When healthy he could be a big help to an already top defense

What was his draft projection before anyone knew about the injury?

Some Teams Project Damone Clark to First Round of 2022 NFL Draft
Updated Nov. 19, 2021
By Charlie Campbell. Follow Charlie on Twitter @draftcampbell.

There has been a lot of talk in the media about the 2022 NFL Draft not being a good year for linebacker talent, and overall, that could be true. LSU, however, has produced a lot of good pro linebacker talent in recent years, and LSU senior Damone Clark could be the first linebacker selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. He is having a huge 2021 season and could follow in the recent Tigers tradition of first-round picks like Devin White and Patrick Queen. According to NFL sources, some teams are projecting Clark to be a first-round pick and think he could rise into being a high first-rounder during the leadup to the 2022 NFL Draft.

"He's long, fast, athletic, and that doesn't last long in the draft," said an NFC director of player personnel. "He's similar to Micah Parsons movement wise, but Parsons had a little more freakish juice and was more explosive, but not by a ton. Clark has better instincts than Parsons and the production reflects that. I think Clark will rise into a mid- to high first."

Entering the final two weeks of the regular season, Clark is tied with Northwestern's Chris Bergin for leading the nation in tackles with 118. Clark also has three sacks, one interception and two passes defended. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Clark has excellent size to play inside or outside linebacker in the NFL.
