Jets waive son of famous ESPN analyst

The New York Jets have cut the son of a longtime ESPN analyst, but it sounds like they are hoping to bring him back.

Jordan Clark, the son of ESPN analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark, was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. ESPN’s Adam Schefter says New York is expected to sign Clark to a practice-squad deal if he is not claimed off waivers.

Clark signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame in April. He played five seasons at Arizona State before transferring to Notre Dame last year. Clark had 29 total tackles, an interception and 5 passes defended in 16 games with the Fighting Irish.

Notre Dame lost to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Clark had 3 total tackles in that contest.

Ryan Clark played in the NFL for 13 seasons, the bulk of which he spent in Pittsburgh. He made the Pro Bowl in 2011 and won a Super Bowl with the Steelers in 2008.
