Now I got to leave my head down at night. Like, it goes back to that point like how can you expect unique results man without unique relationships man? It was my job to care about that dude in that moment, even maybe more so than he cared about himself. That’s leadership, right?”

Ryan Clark has had a lot of injury issues throughout his career. Apart from the cell trait, in 2005, he experienced abdominal pain. Then in 2007, his sickness worsened, and he was diagnosed with splenic infarction.
