4 Philadelphia Eagles 2020 NFL Draft prospects from Georgia

Defensive lineman Tyler Clark landed in Athens as a member of Kirby Smart‘s inaugural recruiting class in 2016. At the time, he was seen as a four-star recruit, and he was seen by 247sports.com as the 27th best defensive tackle in the nation.

We can all probably agree, at this point in the evaluation, that his addition to the program was a wise decision by Georgia’s recruiting department and their coaches.

Clark earned playing time almost immediately and provided consistent production for the Dawgs. In 47 career games, this six-foot-four, 300-pound prospect tallied 119 total tackles and 6.5 sacks. That includes 51 total tackles and another 19.5 stops that resulted in a loss of yardage and 2.5 sacks in 2019. That tied a career-high that he set in 2017 as a sophomore.

He knows how to use his height. When he isn’t collapsing the pocket, he’s getting his hands up to affect passing lanes. It didn’t always leas to stats but he does have three deflected passes in his career.

Clark is seen by pro scouts as being someone that could come off of draft boards during the latter part of the draft’s second day on sometime during Day 3. He could be a nice pick to add depth to the defensive tackle rotation in Philly behind Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson.

We’ll see if the ‘Birds’ show any interest in the coming weeks. They’d be wise to at least sit with him for an interview.
