Daryll Clark earned the No. 2 quarterback spot early last season and had the opportunity to gain experience and exhibit some of his multiple skills as the 2006 season unfolded. A highly skilled athlete, the 6-2, 232-pound Clark is a mobile, strong-armed signal-caller who will look to challenge Anthony Morelli for playing time this season. Playing in seven games last year, Clark demonstrated his ability to effectively lead the offense downfield on several occasions. The elusive runner scored three rushing touchdowns. Clark hails from the talent-rich Northeastern Ohio region.
