Clay Matthews brings versatility to Rams as pass rusher and ILBMatthews is obviously a proven pass rusher, but he brings more than just that to the table. He can play outside linebacker as well as inside ‘backer, offering versatility on defense. The Rams are looking for help at both spots after cutting Mark Barron and getting very little production from their edge rushers not named Dante Fowler Jr.
Matthews played inside and outside linebacker with the Packers for several years, including a full-time stint in the middle for the 2015 season. That year, he made the Pro Bowl with 66 tackles, one interception, 6.5 sacks and 14 tackles for loss. Now, Matthews isn’t the player he was four years ago, but he’s still a versatile player … if the Rams want him to be.
