Clay Matthews is Packer People

A walk-on millionaire, Clay Matthews was selected 26th overall by the Green Bay Packers. The Packers traded with New England to get him at that spot. My Packer fanatic friend Scott has been telling me for weeks that Clay Matthews would be a Packer pick. When I asked him why he's so sure, he said..."That's the kind of story they like over there. A walk on, turned first round draft pick. He's got the NFL blood line. They're hard working people...And It's Wisconsin, bro. Face it. The Packers love high intensity white players." For whatever they picked him, Matthews will be a force when paired up with AJ Hawk. Quick off the edge, excellent dropping back into coverage, acquiring Matthews should be a key step for Green Bay to take their defense to the next level.
