Clay Matthews gives a shoutout to Trump as he uses POTUS' 'message' to roast Chicago Bears at NFL Draft

GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN: Green Bay Packers legend Clay Matthews kicked off the 2025 NFL Draft with a jaw-dropping moment on Thursday, April 24, as he took the stage at Lambeau Field to deliver a surprise message from President Donald Trump.

Flanked by fellow Packers greats Charles Woodson, Ahman Green, James Jones, and superfan rapper Lil’ Wayne, Matthews didn’t hold back while roasting NFL teams.

The former linebacker, known for his dominant ten-year run in Green Bay, including six Pro Bowl appearances and a Defensive Player of the Year title, reminded fans why he’s still a showstopper, even off the field.

Clay Matthews, who is known for his fiery presence on the field, brought that same energy to the 2025 NFL Draft, this time with a mic in hand and a message that stunned the crowd. 

Taking the stage at Lambeau Field, Matthews claimed he had just spoken to President Donald Trump and was there to deliver a message to all 32 NFL teams, the Daily Mail reported.

“I just got off the phone with the president,” he announced, drawing loud cheers from the Green Bay crowd. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a piece of paper and read, “He told me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads. It says, 'My fellow Americans, the (Chicago) Bears still suck!'”

The crowd erupted, loving the savage four-word jab at the Packers’ longtime rivals. It was a perfectly timed punchline that captured the essence of the legendary Packers-Bears rivalry—one of the NFL’s most historic and heated matchups.

Matthews' unexpected moment of humor set the tone for the night, just before Commissioner Roger Goodell officially kicked off the draft by putting the Tennessee Titans on the clock. 

For Packers fans, it was a thrilling way to start an already historic evening, as the draft came to Titletown for the very first time.

Matthews’ playful dig, laced with team pride, brought a dose of fun to an otherwise high-stakes event for the league’s future stars.
