NFL Draft 2009 Round 1 #26- Green Bay- LB Clay Matthews

ESPN expected New England to trade down this pick they got from Baltimore. They did- To Green Bay. Matthews is the third USC player to go in the 1st round.

ESPN writes- Matthews possesses great versatility. He has excellent range against the run along with the fluid change of direction to make him one of this draft’s best coverage linebackers. He has also improved his ability to bend as a rusher off the edge, not to mention the oustanding value he brings on special teams.
