Happy Belated Birthday to JMU's own, Gary Clark.
Often overlooked as one of the best offensive players in team history, Gary should really be getting a serious look at the Hall of Fame.
When he retired he was in the top 10 in both receptions and receiving yards. His numbers are very similar to Michael Irving who got in even before Art Monk for some reason unavailable to me at the moment.
He has two Super Bowl rings with touchdowns in each game, four Pro Bowls, 700 catches and 10,000 yards. Get this guy into Canton my man.
I don't know if they still have this up in the JMU Football locker room (they did in the falls of '97 and '98) but there was this huge poster of Clark returning a punt for a touchdown in an upset win over UVA. Not bad for the Harrisonburg school...not bad at all.
So in summation, Gary Clark is one of the my all time favorite redskins and perhaps their most impressive offensive player in the last 25 years. Even if he's not at the top of that list, he is on the ballot, and should be on the HOF ballot - of course I won't hold my breath since they obviously take time to get to Redskins.
