Clay Matthews -- the former Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams linebacker who went to the Pro Bowl six times in his terrific NFL career -- went viral on Saturday after a photo posted by TMZ took the internet by storm.
The photo -- which is AI-generated -- showed a giant Matthews with muscles popping and an enlarged jaw while carrying groceries. And we'll reiterate it: This is an AI-generated image.
Matthews has addressed it on X (formerly Twitter) with just one word: "Gigaclay," which is mocking the image. Thus ends a very bizarre bunch of hours for the ex-linebacker. Here's the post:
