Clay Mathews

[YosemiteSam]

Is there any question this guy isn't a steroiding fool?

You couldn't point something out any clearer than if you put a spotlight on him on the dark side of the moon.

This airhead wasn't even a starter until the end of his college career. If anything doesn't shout STEROIDS nothing does.

EDIT: damn, typoed his name. Clay Matthews

 

[kmp77]

He doesn't look ripped though. Dunno. I didn't realize he went to USC until now so hmmmm....

 

[Eskimo]

He definitely looks and plays like he is on steroids, HGH or both.

 

[hornitosmonster]

He did Roids for sure.

 

[brucekr]

I dunno, I saw him get handled quite a bit tonight, but his motor never stops running and his play til the whistle blows mentality pays off. Reminds me of their DE they let go, think he plays for the 49ers now? Just can't think of his name. Big white dude.

 

[Danny White]

He needs some good shampoo with conditioner.

He needs some good shampoo with conditioner.

Troy Polamalu definitely needs to have a talk with him.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Dude looks like a Roid Rage case waiting to happen...

Clay Matthews was 6-1 190 lbs when he entered USC.

He graduated standing at 6-3 250 lbs.

His linebacking buddy in college, Brian Cushing, is currently serving a suspension for steroid use.

You do the math.

 

[Biolink]

The height is within reason because men have known to have growth spurts as old as 25 years old, but to gain all of that muscle and not even give an inch in speed is just suspicious as hell

60 pounds! What do I win?

 

[perrykemp]

I question Matthews being on roids too -- however, the one <major> thing in his benefit is that his genetics are outstanding...

Dad played 19 years at LB for Cleveland
Uncle was a Hall of Fame OL for Houston

Those are some serious bloodlines.

His grandfather also played a few years in the league and was listed at 6'-3" and 218 lbs back in the 1950s.

DeMarcus Ware entered Troy University at 190 pounds, and left weighing 251.

Do you believe that Ware took roids too?

I'm guessing Aaron Kampman here. 6-4 286. He was a heck of a rusher but I don't think he was nearly the player Matthews is in space. JMO. I believe he's in Jacksonville now.

 

[Aven8]

This kid is a manbeast! I would take him in a NY second. I wouldn't be surprised if he get's the DPOY if he keeps playing like this!

 

[CowboyMike]

DeMarcus Ware entered Troy University at 190 pounds, and left weighing 251.

Nope. Ware is 6-4 262, but he is a very lean 262. He isn't very bulky, he's more of a streamlined body type. He carries that weight naturally.

Matthews, well... he's this...

Matthews' father and uncle were both large framed players, so it's not as if it isn't in his bloodlines. His dad played at over 240 pounds, and his uncle was 315.

Matthews body type does not look ridiculous in football gear at all. Is he on roids? Possibly. But, to point to "weight gain" as an indicator would bring Ware into the same discussion, as they had the same weight changes.

So did Orakpo, who I definitely think is on roids.

 

[chicago JK]

It is interesting how things play out. Wasn't Matthews not even scheduled to start at USC after his junior year? Now he looks like a pro bowler in his second season.

These types of scenarios play out more than you think with players. I guess it is why the draft is so unpredictable.

yeah gaining 50-60 pounds over 4 years under a professional training regimen is not really that hard to believe, especially the way a lot of these guys today know so much about proper training and nutrition.

roid rage is a myth.
