WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Desmond Clark, a two-time All-ACC wideout for the Deacs and 12-year NFL veteran, is this week's guest on the Deac2Deac Podcast.

A 2015 inductee into the Wake Forest Athletics Hall of Fame, Clark was a four-year letterman for Wake Forest on the gridiron from 1995-1998, graduating with the school record for career receptions with 216 (he has since been surpassed by Michael Campanaro). He ranks in the top ten in numerous Wake Forest receiving records, including career receiving yards (2nd, 2,864), career receiving touchdowns (6th, 20) and receptions in a game (T-8th, 13), among many others.

He was named second team All-ACC in 1996 and 1998, years in which he was also named team MVP, and graduated with the ACC record for career receptions.

He was drafted in the 6th round of the 1999 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, who converted the 6-foot-3 wideout to tight end. Clark spent three seasons with the Broncos, and a season with the Miami Dolphins, before he joined the Chicago Bears, the team he was best known for in his professional career, in 2003.

Selected as a Pro Bowl Alternate in 2005, Clark helped the Bears reach Super Bowl XLI during the 2006 season, hauling in 45 catches for 626 yards and six touchdowns. Clark retired from the NFL in 2012, finishing his career with 323 receptions for 3,591 yards and 27 touchdowns over 12 seasons.

On this week's edition of the pod, Clark joins host and former teammate Kevin Smith to chat about playing in the Super Bowl and Clark's favorite off the field memories at Wake Forest.
