Gary Clark: 699 catches, 10,856 yards, two Super Bowl rings

Gary Clark was born on May 1, 1962, in Radford, Virginia, and attended Pulaski County High School in Dublin, Virginia. He caught 155 passes for 2,863 yards at James Madison and became the first player in school history to have his jersey retired. The Jacksonville Bulls took him sixth overall in the 1984 USFL draft and he played two USFL seasons; Washington selected him in the second round of the 1984 NFL supplemental draft of USFL and CFL players. He signed in 1985 and caught 72 passes for 926 yards as a rookie.

Clark made the Pro Bowl after the 1986, 1987, 1990 and 1991 seasons. He caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in Washington's 42-10 win over Denver in Super Bowl XXII. In 1991 he caught 70 passes for 1,340 yards and ten touchdowns, was named a second-team Associated Press All-Pro and caught seven passes for 114 yards and a touchdown in a 37-24 Super Bowl XXVI win over Buffalo; Madden NFL 92 carried that season at a calculated 76 overall. Madden NFL 93 listed his 1992 season at a calculated 85.

He signed with the Phoenix Cardinals before the 1993 season, which Madden NFL 94 rated at a calculated 79, and played 1994 in Arizona, a season Madden NFL 95 put at a calculated 90. He retired after one season in Miami in 1995 with 699 receptions for 10,856 yards and 65 touchdowns. Clark was inducted into the Redskins Ring of Honor on October 7, 2007.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
About the starred rows*: Several early Madden releases rated players on a 1-15 scale, as printed in the game manuals, rather than the modern 0-99. We store those ratings converted to 0-99 (each manual point is about 6.6) so you can compare players across eras at a glance - use the 0-99 / 1-15 toggle above the table to see the original numbers on those seasons. EA didn’t publish an overall rating in those games, so the OVR* values for those years are our own calculation, the average of the player’s two best ratings.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
