Clay Matthews Becomes Packers' All-Time Sacks Leader

Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews recorded a sack during Thursday's 35-14 victory over the Chicago Bears to become the team's all-time sacks leader at 75, per Sportsnet Stats.

In recording his 75th sack, he surpassed Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, who tallied 74.5 sacks for Green Bay from 2000 to 2008.

The Packers selected Matthews with the 26th overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. He wasted no time getting comfortable as a professional, recording 10.0 sacks during his rookie campaign and being selected to the Pro Bowl.

Much of Matthews' success has come as a result of his relatively good health.
