Dallas Dean Clark, born on June 12, 1979, is a former American professional football player who played as a tight end for 11 seasons in the NFL, predominantly with the Indianapolis Colts. Throughout his career, he achieved numerous accolades and milestones, making a significant impact on the field.

Career with the Indianapolis Colts

  • Drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2003 NFL Draft as the 24th overall pick, Dallas Clark was considered a "perfect fit" for the team's system, eventually replacing notable players in his position.
  • He had several standout performances, including setting franchise records and receiving accolades such as the AFC Offensive Player-of-the-Week.
  • Despite facing injuries, Clark's contributions to the team were substantial, and he broke various records, establishing himself as a prominent player for the Colts.
  • Clark's strong performance led to the Colts placing the franchise tag on him in 2008, followed by a lucrative six-year contract extension, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL at the time.

Post-Colts Career

  • After leaving the Colts in 2012 due to cost-cutting measures, Clark played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012 and the Baltimore Ravens in 2013 before retiring as a Colt in 2013.
  • Following his retirement from professional football, Clark decided to return to his roots in his hometown of Livermore, Iowa, where he and his family maintain a farm.
  • Through a series called "Colts Forever," fans were given a unique look into Clark's post-retirement life, showcasing his transition from the NFL to a lifestyle of farming and family-oriented living.

Life After Football

  • Over the years, Clark has invested his time and efforts into farming, specifically focusing on converting his family's century-old property into a completely organic 134-acre farm, where he grows corn and soybeans with the assistance of his children.
  • Despite the challenges and labor-intensive nature of farming, Clark has embraced the opportunity to return to his roots and instill the values of hard work and inquisitiveness in his children, all while maintaining a strong connection to his community through The Dallas Clark Foundation, which provides scholarships to local students.
  • Clark's post-retirement endeavors reflect his dedication to creating a meaningful impact beyond the football field, as evidenced by his commitment to sustainable farming and community involvement through his foundation.

Dallas Clark's journey from a decorated NFL career to his post-retirement life on the farm in Iowa exemplifies his transition from the spotlight of professional sports to a more grounded and family-centered lifestyle. His continued involvement in community initiatives and sustainable farming practices demonstrates his commitment to making a positive impact beyond the realm of football, solidifying his legacy both on and off the field.
