"...quarterback Daryll Clark had a subpar practice. A late addition to the East roster, Clark was scouted as inaccurate and came off as pressing under the pressure of NFL scouts. He also had trouble with snaps, allowing multiple footballs to hit the ground on the exchange from center. All in all, it was a poor day for Clark, who already must escape from doubts about his big game mentality." - Kevin McGuire, National College Football Examiner, on Daryll Clark's workouts for the East-West Shrine Gamehttp://www.examiner.com/x-6668-Penn-State-Nittany-Lions-Football-Examiner~y2010m1d19-Shrine-Game-Quarless-impressing-in-practice-Clark-not-so-much

"When you get an opportunity like this, you feel like you should want to take advantage of it. A lot of scouts and everyone invited you here because they want to see you throw. Then you don't throw. Obviously they have their reasons. But I'm throwing. This is a big shot for me. But I feel like I can compete with the best, no doubt. The confidence level is there and it's just a matter of applying it now. When it comes time to throwing, just let it ride, let it happen." - Daryll Clark, on the NFL Scouting Combinehttp://www.goerie.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100228/FOOTBALL04/302289872/-1/SPORTS04

"Did I help myself? Well, I got a lot of positive reviews. The question [the scouts] have been asking is whether I'm consistent enough to play in the NFL. I feel like I answered that question today." - Daryll Clark, on Pro Dayhttp://www.philly.com/philly/hp/sports/88338437.html
