Ex-Packers star Clay Matthews reveals how he pulled off Donald Trump stunt at NFL Draft

Former Green Bay Packers star Clay Matthews has opened up on his viral Donald Trump stunt at the NFL Draft after aiming a brutal dig at the Chicago Bears.

Matthews, who won the Super Bowl during his 10-year stint with the Packers, stole the mic after joining NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Lil Wayne on stage to open the draft in Green Bay last month.

In a hilarious moment, the 39-year-old stepped up to the podium to claim he had a message to read from the president himself, only to instead fire sH๏τs at his beloved team’s arch-rivals.

‘I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pᴀss a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads here, alright?’ Matthews began.

He then continued while showing the crowd a fake letter: ‘It says, ‘My fellow Americans, the Bears still suck!’

The adoring Packers fans in attendance went wild over the savage four-word jibe aimed at their longtime bitter foes.

And a few weeks on, Matthews has revealed how he went about planning the stunt during an appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.

‘I looked at last year’s (NFL Draft in Detroit) and it was Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Aiden Hutchinson, Jared Goff, and I thought it was great. You got a mixture of legends and current players and but they all went up there, and they just screamed into the mic,’ he said.

‘I was just like I don’t really just want to get up there and be like Green Bay make some noise so I was like let’s make this memorable.’

Despite Goodell being ‘super cool’ about it when they returned backstage, Matthews admits he kept the NFL in the dark about the Trump reference out of fear they would try to shut it down.

‘I didn’t tell anybody because I knew the NFL wasn’t going to approve it,’ he added. ‘I knew in today’s political climate you mentioned one political affiliation, left, right, like it’s just not going to go over well with the NFL.’

Clay reveald his wife Casey helped him prepare the fake letter with Trump’s face pH๏τoshopped on it, before he went on stage and executed it perfectly in front of the thousands of fans in attendance and even more watching around the world.

‘Execution, delivery, everything was on point, Matthews said. ‘I was happy with how it landed the boys all behind me they enjoyed it they had no idea, so they were you know equally as fired up.

‘You know anytime you can take a chance to put the Bears down you got to take it.’

Matthews himself was the 26th overall pick when he was drafted by Green Bay in 2009. He went on to total 83.5 sacks in his Packers career, making the Pro Bowl six times.
