In 2008, Clay Matthews III was having a great senior year with USC and was on his way to being drafted by the Packers in the first round of the 2009 draft. That year, freshman Nick Perry and future linebacker was red shirted. Four years later, the Packers are trying to strike gold again with a USC Trojan defensive player by selecting Perry with pick #28 this evening.
It looks like I'm going to have a year trying to not write "Rick Perry" when I'm writing about the Packers next season.
