Clay Matthews
Played
Line Backer for the Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons. Clay played 19
seasons and 278 games in the NFL (third most in NFL history).
His 16 seasons in Cleveland are second on the club's
longevity list, trailing Lou Groza's 17 years with the Browns. Matthews holds
the team record for quarterback sacks with 76.5. The former first-round draft
choice (1978) was voted to four Pro Bowls (1986, '88, '89 and '90). Matthews was drafted by the Browns out of USC
with the 12th pick in the first round of the 1978 NFL Draft. Clay was a four
time Pro Bowler for Cleveland.
Drafted 1A in the 1978 draft as the first linebacker
drafted, Matthews beat out Gerald Irons for the starting job in 1979 and went on
to become only one of five Browns players to play in three different decades.
Clay Matthews played in more games (232) than any other player in team history,
however, he is best remembered as one of the league's finest linebackers
throughout his career. Playing from the right outside linebacker position,
Matthews was a mainstay of Browns defenses for 15 years.
Honors:
Pro Bowls: 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990
Personal
Clay Matthews' father (Clay Matthews, Sr.) and brother (Bruce
Matthews, who also played at USC) were also NFL players. Two of his sons
joined the football team at USC: Kyle was a walk-on safety (2000-03) and Clay
III currently plays linebacker at USC (2005- ).
Life after pro football
Matthews resides in Agoura Hills,
California. He serves as defensive coordinator at Oaks Christian
High School, a coed private school in Westlake
Village, California that his son
Casey Matthews attends. He was inducted into the USC Athletic Hall of Fame
in 2005, along with his brother Bruce.
Trivia
Clay and his brother
Bruce competed with members of their family on the popular TV game show Family
Feud, with Richard Dawson. The
Matthews Family won the game, and Clay was one of the two family members to play
the final round. One of five questions he was asked in the final round was "What
is the ideal age for a U.S. President?". He answered "32". Of course, the
constitutional requisite age to become President is 35. Clay ended up scoring 41
points total, and the Matthews family did not win the $10,000 grand prize.
Clay appeared to be very frugal because he drove an old Buick to practice and
games. He owned a car dealership in Euclid, Ohio.
