ESPN star Ryan Clark had a strong claim regarding the NFL Draft and even mentioned a colleague in the process.
The 44-year-old former NFL star opened up about the 2024 NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday, April 25 in Detroit, Michigan.
Clark appeared on Thursday’s edition of ESPN’s hit show Get Up.
During one segment, there was a discussion about which prospects in the upcoming draft have a chance to be “can’t miss.”
Former general manager turned TV analyst Mike Tannebaum believes Caleb Williams, expected to be the No. 1 overall pick, could fit the “can’t miss” criteria.
However, Clark disagreed with Tannenbaum’s opinion and went a step further by citing the thread’s topic.
“They can all make mistakes. Heck, if there were can’t-miss players, Mike T wouldn’t be working for us. This job is hard. It’s hard to evaluate players,” Clark said.
“I’ll never give a guy a grade he can’t miss. Not in this draft or any other.”
Clark made reference to Tannenbaum and the fact that he has been out of the NFL front office since 2018, after being executive vice president of football operations for the Miami Dolphins for four years.
And Tannenbaum’s previous NFL job was as general manager of the New York Jets for seven seasons.
