Despite growing up in a football dynasty, Clay Matthews wasn’t handed success, he earned it. A walk-on at the University of Southern California, he quietly built a reputation on special teams, winning three consecutive Special Teams Player of the Year awards. He is the only player in USC history to do so. By his senior season, he carved out a spot on one of college football’s most dominant defenses. His relentless work ethic and explosive athleticism turned him into a top NFL prospect seemingly overnight.
Selected 26th overall in the 2009 NFL Draft, Matthews wasted no time making an impact. He recorded 10 sacks as a rookie, earning a Pro Bowl nod and setting the Packers’ rookie sack record. In just his second season, Matthews posted 13.5 sacks and played a pivotal role in Green Bay’s victory in Super Bowl XLV. Over his 10-year tenure with the team, Matthews defined consistency and excellence, becoming the Packers’ all-time sack leader with 83.5 sacks and earning a place in the Packers Hall of Fame in 2024.
What set Clay apart was his versatility. Known for his trademark long hair and unmatched motor, he excelled as both an outside and inside linebacker, disrupting plays in the backfield, covering tight ends, and setting the tone for the defense. Instinctual, adaptable, and endlessly disruptive, he ranks among the NFL’s all-time greats in quarterback pressures and postseason performances.
After one final season with the Los Angeles Rams, Matthews retired from football. Since then, he has embraced new opportunities as a speaker, mentor, and analyst. He speaks to audiences about legacy, mindset, preparation, and what it means to lead, especially when no one expects it of you. A proud member of one of football’s most storied families, Clay brings a multigenerational perspective on elite performance, resilience, and building a championship culture.
