INDIANAPOLIS -- Tight end Dallas Clark, a fixture with the Indianapolis Colts for nine seasons, will retire with the team on Wednesday.
Clark, the 24th overall pick by the Colts in 2003, set franchise records for receptions (427) and receiving touchdowns (46) by a tight end. He’s retiring with 505 receptions for 5,665 yards and 53 touchdowns in 143 games in his 11-year career. Clark played for Tampa Bay and Baltimore after leaving the Colts following the 2011 season.
Here’s what fans had to say about Clark via Twitter:
@MikeWellsNFL I met Dallas at J. Snow's Spec Olympics camp. He was out there having as much, or more, fun than the athletes. Really cool guy
