Clay Matthews III was born on 14 May 1986 in Los Angeles, USA. He was born to white parents of American nationality. He was very good at playing football and other sports since his childhood. Looking at this potential he was added in the school football team by his coach. His mother name is Leslie and his father name is Clay Matthews Jr. His father was also a professional football player and was his son's first coach. He has other siblings as well who are currently playing the same game.
Matthews started his career at Agoura High School in California. His father was at the same school and worked as a coach. He however didn’t start his son in any matches as he found him to be physically lacking and weak to play the game. He took it as a challenge and started to prepare for the game. He grew stronger day by and day and was then selected in the team.
After his school he took admission in the University of Southern California. At his college he started to play for the Trojans team since 2004. His start was very tough as he didn’t have much experience at the school level but still he worked hard and took opportunities when it arrived. He started weight training to get bigger and stronger.
In 2008 he was signed by the Green Bay Packers. He, however, didn’t play many games for the team due to an injury and stayed on the bench for the most of the season. He started to play games on a regular basis in 2010. In the second season, he changed his game now playing on the left hand side and roamed freely throughout the match.
In 2010 he made a total of 60 tackles through the league of which 54 were solo. In the same season, he recorded the most number of sacks in a single season totaling 3.5 in the Super Bowl. That year he led the team to win the Super Bowl making 3 tackles in the final game. He started the next season on a strong note now having won the Super Bowl. In this season he made 50 tackles which were less than what he managed the season before. His solo tackles also dropped to 37 from 54. The season was a little disappointing for him.
He, however, got back to his best the very next season tackling 61 times of which 54 were solo. He is currently playing for Green Bay Packers since he joined the NFL and doing pretty good for the team.
There is not much known about his personal life. He is known to be married at the moment and has two children with his wife. He has a daughter and a baby boy who was born in 2015. His contract runs till 2018 with his current team and then he could decide if he wants to stay or go to another club. His net worth is estimated to be around $30 million with a high salary as well.
