The San Diego Chargers selected Clary out of Kansas State with their pick in the sixth round (187th overall) of the 2006 NFL draft.

A reserve for most of the year, the coaches inserted him into the starting lineup at right tackle in early December to give the team’s struggling running game a spark.

His hobbies include golf and spending time with his family at San Diego’s beaches and amusement parks.
