When you grow up a Matthews, other Matthews are always telling you what you're doing wrong.
He's been so successful, arguably the best quarterback ever to play the game. If you were trying to follow his footsteps, it would be incredibly difficult. I'd go crazy if I woke up every day and tried to compare myself to Peyton Manning.
Every quarterback feels like he has something to prove.
Adrian Clayborn is somebody that relentlessly brings that attitude, energy, and toughness.

He had a lot of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't organized, didn't know how to learn, didn't know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get better.
Sammy Baugh embodied all we aspire to at the Washington Redskins. He was a competitor in everything he did and a winner. He was one of the greatest to ever play the game of football, and one of the greatest the Redskins ever had.

Never put your money against Cassius Clay, for you will never have a lucky day.
