My brother, Clay Matthews, was a walk-on at USC. JJ Watt walked on at Wisconsin.Aaron Rodgers started at a J.C.Tom Brady wasn’t drafted until the 6th round.Warren Moon,Kurt Warner & Wes Welker weren’t drafted.Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not capable or deserving;keep grinding
My hero. The greatest man on earth. The one who believes in me when I don’t believe in myself. He taught me about hard work, humility, integrity and that we are on this earth to serve others, not to be served. I’ll keep fighting for him to be properly honored and acknowledged.
My brother, Clay, broke his jaw in last night’s game against the Seahawks. I’d be so grateful for prayers for a full, quick recovery for him. It kills me to see any of my family hurt. 💔 He was playing lights out, having accumulated 6 sacks in 5 games. He’ll be back...

#ClayMatthewsHOF
My dad has selflessly sacrificed so much & worked so hard to serve his family. He was at every game, every event, every big moment, to cheer me on & let me know he loved me. He believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Now, it’s my turn to honor him.

So excited for this Browns-Broncos game on Saturday! A few of these matchups back in the Elway days haunt me still 😆. As a little girl, I used to pray that we would beat John Elway and the Broncos. I think it’s time for the

The best of the best. As his daughter, I can confirm that, aside from him being an incredibly talented athlete and setting all sorts of records at LB, he’s the wisest, most humble, servant-hearted man & the greatest Dad on the planet. He’s my hero & the one I aspire to be like.
My dad is the

all-time sack leader and, not only were sacks not an official stat until 1983, he also was asked to drop into coverage more often than not. He was the consummate team player and, when they finally let him loose, it was sack after sack. 💪🏼

As frustrating as this season (and other seasons) have been, I stand by the Browns and I will always be a fan. Let’s turn this thing around. It’s time.

A throwback pic to Cleveland when Lebron returned and the Cavs won a championship. Don’t they say it’s Cleveland against the world? It’s time people recognize the greatness of this city and its people.🔥
Despite the loss last night, I’m still excited about the Browns potential and I believe they’ll turn things around with all of this talent. I’ll always be a fan of Cleveland. First Energy Stadium was rocking last night. Keep showing up and being loud, Browns fans!
One of my favorite throwback pics of my dad, Clay Matthews Jr, & my uncle, Bruce Matthews. 38 NFL seasons & 18 Pro Bowls between these iron men. My dad has the record for most games played by an LB in NFL history & Uncle Bruce has most games played by an O-Lineman in NFL history.
