Gary Clark

Gary Clark was born and raised in Pulaski, Virginia.  In 1982, while at JMU, he was named the Virginia Offensive Player of the Year, and later was named to the JMU Hall of Fame. 

After college, Clark played two years with the USFL's Jacksonville Bulls before signing with the Washington Redskins in 1985. 

He quickly made a name for himself as a big-time playmaker, ranking in the NFL’s top ten in receptions four times (1986, 87, 89, & 90) and in touchdowns five times (1987, 88, 89, 90, & 91).   Clark caught 7 passes for 114 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown in Super Bowl XXVI. 

Clark earned four Pro Bowl appearances, and in 2002, Redskins.com listed Clark among the 70 greatest Redskins of all time in celebration of the team’s 70th anniversary..
