One of the most fascinating stories to follow around the Green Bay Packers over the past year has been Clay Matthews' transition from a pure pass-rushing outside linebacker into a versatile, inside-outside player who can line up at any of the four linebacker spots and wreak havoc on an opposing offense. His move last year sparked a defensive turnaround, and has helped the Packers to the league's best scoring defense so far this year.
A few of us here at Acme Packing Company have a theory, which was brought up among the group by our Paul Noonan, that Matthews is the spiritual successor to Charles Woodson.
