After departing Ann Arbor, former Michigan football edge rusher Frank Clark has built quite an acclaimed career in the professional ranks.
The two-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs started his career with the Seattle Seahawks, where he was selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft. He’s been the premier defensive end for the Chiefs since arriving in Kansas City in 2019, spearheading the defensive attack there, but now he’s heading to a new home.
Per the NFL, Clark is on the move to the Denver Broncos, where he’s signing a one-year deal for the new-look AFC franchise.

In 2022, Clark played in 15 games and had five sacks — a half-sack improvement on his 2021 production. His best season came in 2018 with Seattle, when he had 13 sacks and an interception.
The Broncos managed to coax former New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton out of retirement to oversee the program this upcoming season.
