GREEN BAY – Earlier this season, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews became Green Bay’s all-time sack leader, and then he added to his total this past Sunday wearing a special pair of cleats designed by some very special people.
The whole picture helps sum up why Matthews is the Packers’ 2017 nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.
Matthews is one of 32 nominees league-wide for one of the game’s most prestigious honors, which recognizes an NFL player for outstanding community service activities off the field as well as excellence on the field.
