Packers Sign First-Round DT Kenny Clark, Wrap Up 2016 Draft Class

The Green Bay Packers announced Friday have agreed to terms with first-round DT Kenny Clark.

The Packers have now locked up their entire 2016 draft class to four-year contracts.

Clark, 20, was taken with the No. 27 overall pick by the Packers, who had an obvious hole to fill in the middle of the defense after B.J. Raji surprisingly elected to take a hiatus from the NFL a few months ago.

According to OverTheCap.com, Clark receives a four-year contract worth $9,361,642 to go along with a signing bonus of $5,008,468. The contract will include a fifth-year option for the team to consider in 2019.

During his three-year college career at UCLA, Clark recorded 159 tackles, 20 tackles for a loss, 6.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a recovery and six pass defenses.
