Ryan Clark Aspires To Be A GM, Is Preparing For It Everyday

Ryan Clark, a former NFL player, appears to be happy in his multiple commentator roles with the network, but he has an admission to make.

Ryan Clark Aspires To Be A GM, Is Preparing For It Everyday

He’s still not sure if a career in television is for him, and he would much prefer be working as an NFL general manager, which is his ideal job. He claims that he is practising for the job “every day.”

Clark pitches NFL organizations that he wants to be a general manager, and the exchange turns into a typical Q&A. To further demonstrate his abilities, he openly fabricates statements regarding his prior assessments of Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, the top two choices in the previous NFL Draft.

Since nobody seems to have truly known that Clark wanted to be a general manager, at least not in the public eye, this was his chance to put himself on the radar.

Or, maybe, he wanted to generate some leverage in future contract negotiations with ESPN.

In a long Q&A piece that GQ released on Monday, the 44-year-old analyst discussed a wide range of topics, including the NFL’s present situation and the challenges he has when criticizing players.

These days, Clark may be seen on ESPN’s NFL Live, Get Up, First Take, and SportsCenter, among other shows. He also started hosting Inside the NFL on The CW this autumn. He manages to complete a few episodes as well. Clark has received recognition for his efforts, and in 2023 he will be honoured with an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Personality/Studio Analyst.”

Clark claims he would much rather be an NFL general manager than a TV host. Even though he talks on TV and podcasts for the most of the day, he says he’s getting ready every day to become one.

“I’m going to be a GM one day; that’s my next job. I prepare every day by talking to former GMs, putting together my list of priorities, and writing down what sort of coach I want to work with,” Clark said. “What alignments are necessary in order to go out and pick players. What’s the physicality level of my offense? How do I want to play defense?”

“When I watch college ball now, I don’t think, ‘Oh, this team is great.’ I think, ‘This is the best quarterback, now let me watch him.’ I looked at the draft and thought there were three guys, then a fourth.

“Those three guys went first, second, and fourth. I thought C.J. [Stroud] was the best of them, but Bryce [Young] went first, then C.J., then Anthony [Richardson].”

“For me, it’s a no-brainer that Bryce Young is the #1 overall pick. Bryce Young has done nothing but be the best player on the football player the last two years,” Clark emphatically states.
