Brian Kuklick fit into this category and we really didn't know what to expect but he has been a pleasant surprise in camp."…Running back Derrick Clark is excited about playing for the Rage near his hometown of Apopka, Florida… "My family and friends didn't get to come to a lot of my games with my last team," Clark said in the understatement of the century…for five years, Clark's home games were played in Dusseldorf, Germany as a member of the Rhein Fire (NFL-Europe).
