5. Ironically enough, we had to convince Clark to become a smuggler in high school
As the star athlete of the Glenville High School football team in Cleveland, Clark was more interested in playing in offense or – he had to be in defense – to safety. It was only towards the end of his career that Clark finally made a commitment to be a strong supporter at the request of legendary football coach Ted Ginn Sr., whose son – Ted Ginn Jr. – is a veteran of the NFL for 12 years.
Here is part of the MLive.com People Story.
The talent was obvious and Clark knew it. He demanded to be used all over the field – quarterback, close end, wide receiver, linebacker, safety, kicker.
"Frank wanted to do everything except what I wanted him to do," Ginn said.
Ginn wanted Clark to play defensive and two locked horns.
"So I fought with Frank from his second year to his last year," said Ginn. "In his last year, he finally decided to listen."
It turned out to be a very good decision, and all those years later, Clark headed to Kansas City.
