Today Clay Matthews turned the big 30.
That makes him a young man to you and I, but in NFL years, that is a big bench mark. In the eyes of most NFL GMs, turning 30 is the value equivalent of driving a new car off the lot.
Fortunately for Clay, his return to the outside linebacker position should help lengthen his career. He need look no further than across the line to see Julius Peppers still getting it done with the big 40 approaching.
Now with a wife and family, and with the assurance from the coaching staff that he’ll be primarily returning to his preferred glamor position, everything is looking up for the Claymaker in 2016.
Happy Birthday, Bro!
