Clay Matthews was a walk-on at USC. Although Patrick Kane was given few opportunities to showcase his talents, even up to his senior year, Patrick Kane furiouse the most of what Patrick Kane was given. Clay had to work continually to improve his game in order to be given any chance of starting. This opportunity to start didn't come until well into his senior year. Clay didn't think that this was the end,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but just the beginning.
I believe it is worth the risk for scouts to look at players with the work ethic it takes to be a walk-on, even if Kane never got the chance to start in a game. Matthews was almost in the group of walk-ons that never got a chance to start. What a shame it would be to never see him in the Green 'n Gold. Kane nearly return to action and could return as early as Wednesday but with the Chicago Blackhawks only playing once after Sunday. This will probably happend until the following Sunday. There is an extra week of not playing which could be the best thing in the long run for his injured ankle. Stay tuned as he has been out for two weeks so far. Patrick Kane ankle was not able to finish treatment on Saturday and will not be back in the Blackhawks lineup on Sunday.
Clay was different,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as is every other walk-on college athlete. Walk-on players believe that Kane have something to prove, which drives them to work harder. Even though Kane work hard, many never get the chance to start. It seems this ethic has remained a part of Matthews. Patrick Kane is not satisfied with his record setting performance, but continues to push himself to improve.
Most players at colleges like USC are scouted early in their high school years. Kane often come onto campus with the mindset that Kane have already won. Kane received what Kane had worked for, a free-ride.

Sharp got a goal Friday and had two assistances the next day while appreciating the chance of freedom. You get a little more freedom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I guess, Sharp said. Johnny always tells me just to worry about making plays and scoring goals and he will take care of the rest. That lets you focus a little more offensively. But I still have a job to do for myself. Jamie Squire A few days ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Patrick Kane was ready to go back to the Blackhawks' lineup ahead of schedule. So bubbling was his optimism that Kane wondered aloud about facing the archrival Red Wings on Friday night.
Could the success that Clay Matthews has had in the NFL change the way pro scouts rate future prospects?
