Flowing hair, a cannon motor, and a Super Bowl

For a stretch, Clay Matthews and his flying blond hair were the face of the Green Bay defense. The USC product, from a football family, came off the edge with rare burst and lined up all over the front, a disruptive force who forced a key fumble on the way to the Packers' Super Bowl XLV title.

Madden gave him a 95 on the 2011 and 2013 cards, the peak of a run that made him the franchise's all-time sack leader and a six-time Pro Bowler. When he was rolling, offenses had to know exactly where he was.

How to read these: Each row is the player’s rating in that year’s Madden, listed by the NFL season it covers (Madden NFL 2001 = the 2000 season). Madden sets its ratings before the season is played, so they reflect the previous season’s performance - a player’s breakout year tends to show up as a jump in the following year’s game.
Note: Some Madden releases tracked fewer attributes than others. Cells shown as - were not published by EA that year.
