USAToday Feature on Clark Hunt, Son of Lamar Hunt

Postby MrMustang1965 » Tue Jul 31, 2007 4:43 pm

"Being the public face of the team, if you will, is a major change and something I'm adapting to," he said during a lunch break at the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp.

Clark Hunt played football in high school but does not pretend to be an expert in the strategic nuances of the game. He said he will leave the coaching to Herm Edwards and the day-to-day operation of the front office to general manager Carl Peterson.

Still, Chiefs officials who have worked with him on various projects describe the son of the founder of the AFL as a quick study who rarely requires a second explanation. A two-time winner of Southern Methodist University's highest academic honor, he graduated in 1987 first in his class.

"Anyone who has ever known Clark Hunt will tell you this is a very, very bright guy," said Peterson. "The apple did not fall far from the tree."

After his father began taking him to owners meetings a few years ago, Hunt gained enough respect to be appointed to the small search committee that helped select Roger Goodell as commissioner.

They say Clark is the only of Lamar's children taking an active role in running the team. Not true. Dan, also an SMU grad, is very involved.
