The 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay kicked off with fireworks, and not just from future stars hearing their names called. Instead, it was Packers legend Clay Matthews who stole the spotlight with a moment that mixed politics, football, and comedy — and yes, it involved Donald Trump and a classic jab at the Chicago Bears .
Clay Matthews plays emcee and drops a presidential zinger on Bears fans
As the crowd in Titletown buzzed with anticipation, Clay Matthews took the stage alongside Green Bay greats Ahman Green, James Jones , and rapper Lil Wayne . Their appearance alone amped up the energy, but Matthews brought the house down when he pulled out an envelope and told fans he had a special message “straight from the President of the United States.”
After a theatrical pause, he opened the envelope and deadpanned, “The Bears still suck!” The crowd erupted in laughter and applause, embracing the jab as part of the long-standing Packers vs. Bears rivalry — one of the oldest and most intense in the NFL.
Though Matthews delivered the line in jest, it was branded as a quote from Donald Trump, instantly adding fuel to the moment. Whether Trump truly authored the joke or not, the crowd didn’t care — they were here for the drama, the rivalry, and the good-natured trash talk that defines this Midwest football feud.
Social media lights up as Bears fans get roasted on draft night
It didn’t take long for clips of the moment to explode across social media. Packers fans couldn’t get enough, praising Matthews’ delivery and the audacity of invoking Trump for a football joke. Meanwhile, Chicago Bears fans took to the comments — some laughing along, others clearly irritated.
The phrase “The Bears still suck” isn’t new to NFL culture, but when wrapped in a faux-presidential delivery at the opening of the draft, it felt fresh, cheeky, and perfectly timed.
Matthews’ joke wasn’t just a punchline — it represented the deep pride and culture of Green Bay Packers football. With legends and die-hard fans gathered in the heart of Wisconsin, the event highlighted everything that makes the NFL Draft more than just a list of picks. It’s a celebration of team spirit, rivalries, and sports tradition.
