Vinnie Clark was a solid cornerback in the early part of the 1990's and was one of those guys who had a common card in every set from around 1991-1994. Vinnie came into the league in 1991 as a Packers first round pick out of The Ohio State University. Vinnie never fully lived up to that draft status but did put in two good seasons with the Packers and two more with the Falcons. Injuries started adding up, and Vinnie had a season with the Saints and then a season and a half with the Jaguars before retiring after the 1996 season. Since retirement, he dabbled in coaching as an assistant to his old college teammate, Chris Spielman, with the now-defunct AFL team the Columbus Destroyers. Vinnie currently resides in Cincinnati.

This is a nice continuing trend of guys who weren't really on the TTM radar turning into good signers. Great to get these 4 cards out of my commons box.
