Clark Boyd's initial draft experience was very exhaustive, in that he had to wait so, so long to hear his name called. Winding up at 122nd overall pick of the S22 Draft, Clark was drafted by the Sarasota Sailfish early in the 11th round. Sarasota was the only team to really scout him out, so he was more than happy to join their ranks. He started as TE2 for them the following season, and never looked back. That is, until S25.
Clark's most recent draft experience came with the S25 Expansion Draft. With only so many protections available, the Sarasota Sailfish were unable to protecting him from potentially being drafted away. Going into draft night, he knew that he was an undervalued player (in the league as a whole, not on his team), and that his odds of being drafted were much higher than projections and predictions in the media may have led on. At the end of the day, Clark is a football player and a competitor, and would play for whatever team he would end up with for that season. Obviously, he wanted to stay with the Sailfish. But between the two expansion teams, the New York Silverbacks seemed like the preferred choice, at least on paper. The GMs were very successful, and recently. However, fate had other plans. And with the 10th pick in the S25 Expansion Draft, Clark Boyd was selected by the Berlin Fire Salamanders, headed up by two new GMs on the ISFL scene. And truth be told, he really couldn't be happier. Playing the underdogs these past few seasons have been great, and the community that has been built up in Berlin's LR has been amazing.
