In 2009, Clay Matthews wasn't in New York City to hear his name called live in the NFL Draft.

Instead, like many others before and after him, he spent time at home with family and friends, all of whom were waiting to hear the phone ring in front of them to see where he would be heading.

Matthews ended up going to the Green Bay Packers, and Thursday night will be a full-circle moment as he spends time in the Lowe's Green Room with the 2025 NFL Draft potential first-round picks, who will all be waiting patiently and eagerly to see where their NFL journey begins.
