TE Desmond Clark doesn't earn the publicity afforded 2008 first-round pick Greg Olsen, but it was Clark who was the Bears' leading receiver among tight ends, with 44 catches for 545 yards.
"Desmond has been an integral part of our offense the last three years," tight ends coach Rob Boras said. "Desmond is our starting tight end. He makes plays when he's called upon. He's very steady in the run game, which often goes unnoticed. You look at his average yards per catch the last couple years, and he's had one of the highest in the league for tight ends, so obviously he's making plays down the field."
Clark averaged 12.4 yards per catch last season to Olsen's 10.0.
