They pumped him fill of sooo many steroids at USC! I played again him in HS and he was soooo small! My buddy Jordan also played at USC and made it to the NFL and confirmed the meal plan is HGH! 😂
cool video, interesting to know. but please stop saying "one of the best linebackers in nfl history"…they were good, but rey, cushing, and matthews are not that
Brother went to school with this guy. This guy was on hghd and sometimes on steroids. He was not homegrown. This is why he took a big decline after they decided to check for human growth hormones in the NFL.
The Ultimate Walk On Success Story – too skinny, and unrecruited to college programs, walks on at the TOP D1 Football Program in the country. is a Scout and Special Teams player for 4 years. all while building up his strength, speed and size, and then, just as he’s hitting his physical prime in his 5th year, he gets a Starting Position and tears up the PAC-12, then gets drafted in the 1st round BEFORE his more celebrated USC teammates, Cushing and Malaluaga, thrn goes on to have a Hall of Fame NFL Career and win a Super Bowl,
That isn’t Clay in the thumbnail. Your opening sentence is, "he was one of the best lone backers to ever play the game," yet you have the wrong player in the thumbnail.
Steroid cycle to help you gain size and hop off once you get in the big leagues and take smaller unnoticed amounts to maintain. A tale as old as the bible.
With his bloodline still was a walk on but the sad part is now with NIL that may never have happened because something about only so many walk ons rest must be scholarship athletes
As a long time Lions fan, I hated Clay Matthews when he played for the Packers. He was a game changer. Now that he’s gone, I can say out loud that he was one of the greatest of his generation without my blood pressure increasing.
Juice university
How do you look at that brow ridge and think he wasn’t gonna be good?! 🤣🤣🤣
He may have retired in 2022 but his last year playing was 2019
latermer from the program
And was in pitch perfect 2
Packer great. So glad he was in GB

Clay was a fuckin dawg!!!

Rey was the best of the three. 💎
they started juicing like crazy haha
I wish we could go back in time and have that USC team vs Tebows Gators in the natty (which is what it should of been anyways)
Dont forget about walk-on Jordy Nelson was on that team as well.

He was no Brian Urlacher
And he was the best out of Cushing and Tay in the NFL too
The steroids are so obvious
I’ve never heard of a walk on get drug tested for antibiotics
Clay is the better of the three of them, hands down in the NFL
He was a cold edge rusher. Imo he was a better inside linebacker.
Clay was a Dawg!
7 nfl players in his family across 3 generations. Clay, his brother, 2 cousins, dad, uncle, and grandpa.
Man imagine as a running back you make it past the linebacker core and see Taylor mays waiting for your ass
Absolute beast of a LB group. Just unreal.

The AI voice over is cringely annoying.
Perseverance
Clay mathews was on steroids
I hate these TikTok AI voices so much. It completely ruins all videos no matter the content.
Madden Loved some Clay
A.i voices are hilarious
Crazy

Caused my lions havoc through the years
Don’t forget that Lofa Tatupu and Keith Rivers were the OGs of Pete’s first National Championship
Matthew whole family played ball be was always going to be on the field somewhere
YESSSASS
Steroids a helluva drug!
Not even a top 100 olb
Hmmm might be Carson schwesinger
This needs to be a movie 🎬
Dude retired due to strict rules against hitting a QB. He got a roughing the passer penalty on a play where he sacked the QB. NFL screwed him.
Definitely the best steroid induced LB of all time. He shaved likely 10 years off his life to be that. As you get older, those years are priceless.
He started juicing thats why his play improved so much

He packed on insane mass in a very short time . Good genetics 😊
