Ex-Wolverine Frank Clark Drafted In 2nd Round By Seattle

TIM BOOTH, AP Sports Writer

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks bolstered their defensive line by selecting Frank Clark from Michigan with the No. 63 overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft, despite a checkered past off the field.

Seattle entered the draft with more picks than any other team — 11 — but was the final team to make its first pick in the draft when the Seahawks selected Clark with the next-to-last pick of the second round Friday night. Clark is 6-foot-2 and 277 pounds. He appeared in 46 games and made 26 starts for the Wolverines.

But Clark had his issues away from football. He pleaded guilty to stealing another student's laptop in 2012 and was kicked off Michigan's team last November after being arrested on assault charges. Clark accepted a plea deal in April on a reduced charge.
