Analyzing the Cowboys linebacker unit before the 2023 season

Damone Clark

Clark didn't participate in the first seven games last year due to spinal fusion surgery that he underwent in the offseason. The rookie played as a starter in 5 of the last 8 regular season games for Dallas. This year, Clark and Vander Esch are starting together.

His head spun from the mental load last season. His natural ability was evident when he played freely.

Anthony Barr's ability to change direction and playing speed was restricted. Clark is not bound by physical limitations. It was entirely a mental thing. We expect Damone Clark will achieve greater things in his second year thanks to a full offseason and preseason.

The speed is visible. I'm in a whirlwind of excitement because of his ability to shift direction and open his hips in pursuit.
