The New York Jets are set to give a defensive back his NFL debut on Sunday in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.
This player also happens to be the son of ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, the former Pittsburgh Steelers safety.
It'll be Jordan Clark after he was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster.
"Has spent the entire season on the practice squad after signing as an UDFA," ESPN's Rich Cimini wrote on X. "With Jarvis Brownlee, Jr (hip) listed as doubtful, Clark could be in line to start in the slot."

Clark, also a safety like his father, began his college career at Arizona State.
He played parts of five seasons with the Sun Devils. In 40 total games, he had 139 tackles, including seven for loss, while intercepting three passes.
Clark transferred to Notre Dame for his final year of college eligibility and went all the way to the national championship game with the Fighting Irish.
He played in 16 games for Notre Dame, totaling 37 tackles, including two for a loss. He also intercepted a pass and had five passes defensed.

Clark isn't a big dude, measuring at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds. He didn't make the Jets' roster in the preseason, but now he'll get his chance.
His father started his NFL career as a practice squad player, too, so Clark has a path to follow.
