Clay Matthews is a pass rusher and you better not forget it!
Matthews came in at No. 51 on the NFL Network’s list of the top 100 players and while that isn’t all that interesting in and of itself, the segments that NFL Films produces for each player are. Like with Randall Cobb, we learned that former Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor is obsessed with Cobb’s beautiful eyes.
Matthews clearly impressed a lot of guys in the league by moving to inside linebacker and being successful there. These rankings are voted on by other players, so that’s what’s important here. The move was largely responsible for helping Matthews move from No. 77 to No. 51 on the list.
But lest you or anyone else forget what motivates Clay, it’s rushing the passer, which is why he hated the move inside to begin with.
Check out the 1:26 mark of the video and you’ll get this.
“I’m a pass rusher! Before anything else, I’m a pass rusher!”
Of course you are, buddy. Gotta get those sacks!
Chicks love sacks!
Also comical is whoever that is in street clothes there taunting Clay while he’s explaining that he’s a pass rusher.
