Clay Matthews, LB

    Selected:

  • College: Southern Cal.
  • Age: 22
  • Height: 6-foot-3
  • Weight: 240 lbs.
  • 2008 Stats: 56 tackles (28 solo), 9 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks




Scouting Report: Good combine performance, great Pro Day performance. Body is NFL-ready and has room to get stronger. Solid speed to play in coverage or track down ball carriers. May not rush especially well at the next level, but should do everything else. Will use quickness to work his way around blocks. Excellent hands. Only 10 career starts.

2009 Outlook: Mathews has moved up since the combine due to his athleticism. He'll need some time to become a dominant linebacker at the next level, but he should be in the rotation by training camp.
