EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Danny Clark of the Giants says he gets a lot of long looks from curious motorists when he drives his Smart car between Manhattan and the team’s practice complex in New Jersey.
But the glances turn to stares and smiles when he parks his 1,600-pound vehicle and his 6-foot-2, 245-pound body emerges from behind the wheel.
“That’s when the real mystery comes about,” Clark said. “They say, ‘How does this big guy get out of such a small car?’ Other drivers are quite surprised. They can’t believe it.”
Clark, a veteran linebacker, parks in a players lot among pickup trucks, Hummers and Escalades. He said he was “thinking outside the box” to be different and environmentally friendly.
“I did the whole S.U.V. thing my first couple years in the N.F.L.,” Clark said. “I’ve chosen to go against the grain a little bit and help out our one and only environment. The ‘Green Giant’ is my name. Get it? Green.”
