The Vikings’ newest offensive lineman, Alex Boone, recounted his run-in with Clay Matthews and said he was born to play in the “nasty” NFC North.
Alex Boone is bringing his “nasty” attitude to the Minnesota Vikings, who will face the Green Bay Packers twice a year in NFC North play.
Why is that significant?
In 2013, Boone, then a guard for the San Francisco 49ers, took exception to a hit that Packers linebacker Clay Matthews put on quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Matthews was fined $15,000 by the NFL and Boone was asked what kind of a fine he would have given Matthews.
