In 2009, Clay Matthews was not in New York City to listen to his name called Live In the NFL Draft.
On the other hand, like many others before and after him, he spent a time at home with family and friends, all of whom they expected to listen to the phone in front of them to see where he would go.
Matthews ended up going to the Green Bay Packers, and on Thursday night it will be a complete circle, since time spends time in the Lowe’s green room with the potential first round selections of the NFL 2025, which will be patiently and anxiously waiting to see where their NFL trip begins.

All these perspectives can tell their Draft Day History once everything is said and done, including those who will be at home or elsewhere surrounded by family and friends.
“It’s stressful, to say the least,” Matthews told Fox Digital about his experience in the Draft of the day. “Unless you are the type that goes No. 1, or the two or three or three, you know your financial security and where you will be.
“For me, after having gone on the 26th, without knowing where I was going, I thought I was going to end in Denver in a moment, maybe Houston, and then New England was on the clock. Green Bay, who had already recruited that year with the ninth selection for BJ Raji, did not expect to end in Green Bay. They exchanged and chose me.”

Matthews and his family were ecstatic to see him go to Green Bay, but he revealed something hilarious that happened at that time to remember.
His mother thought that the New England patriots selected their son.
As Matthews mentioned, the Patriots were a team that believed that he needed some advantage, and possessed the selection No. 26. But Green Bay made an exchange with the Patriots led by Bill Belichick-Tom Brady, and were with another defensive player in the first round.
“Green Bay called and changed in the draft, so everyone knows that I am going to Green Bay, appears on the screen,” said Matthews. “But my mother somehow lost it and thought she went to New England.

“So, for about an hour or so, now, now, this is Prime New England, Super Bowl, Tom Brady, was excited. Approximately an hour later, when she discovered that she was going to Green Bay, she said: ‘What are we going to New England? However, I didn’t put everything. [there]”
Matthews had a tremendous success in his mandate of a decade in Green Bay, winning six pro Bowl nodders and becoming the 2010 defensive player after accumulating 13.5 captures, 60 combined cups, two forced loose balls, an interception and 18 cups for loss.
That was the year, the second season of Matthews, where the Packers won the Super Bowl XLV, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25.
Now retired and member of the Packers Hall of Fame, Matthews continues to be a basic element in Green Bay, including this week, when all stops are being withdrawn for the last NFL Draft class.

Together with the NFL host Redzone Scott Hanson, Matthews will be touring the Lowe Green Room, which was configured to resemble a luxury cigarette room, interact with the best perspectives and wait for Commissioner Roger Goodell to call their names.
“It’s surprising to be here now,” Matthews said about the Green Room. “As someone who was recruited in the first round, but did not participate in the festivities that come along with being in New York at that time, what Lowe’s has been able to achieve and do here is really remarkable.
“To have the draft in Green Bay, it makes only sense. I was on stage admiring how it will be for these young people tomorrow night. We hope that everyone appreciates the hard work that has been done, which the city has put.”
