Most important Packers for Super Bowl Run: Kenny Clark

Kenny Clark is the one guy on the Packers’ defensive line who can blow up any play–run or pass.

He continues to be one of the most underrated players at any position. His ability to get into the backfield on a whim ensures he creates negative plays for the opposing team–even if it’s not always Clark getting the direct credit.

The Packers have asked a lot of Clark this season, as he’s played the sixth-most snaps on the defense this season. That includes more than guys like Preston Smith, Rashan Gary and Rasul Douglas. That’s almost unheard of for a defensive lineman who is banging with other big bodies upfront on every single play.
