RIP to The Professor, John Clayton.
"John was a pioneer as an NFL insider but also one of the kindest men you could ever work with,'' he said."He literally never said no to a show that asked him to come on -- from 6 a.m. to midnight, if you asked for the Professor, he was there for you. I'll also personally remember how he loved and cared for his beloved wife Pat as she has battled multiple sclerosis. We will all miss John greatly.
Clayton's popularity among fans reached greater heights when he appeared in ESPN's iconic"This is SportsCenter" commercials that quickly went viral with millions of views. In the commercial, Clayton does a guest spot on SportsCenter in suit and tie. But, when the segment's over, he rips off the outfit to reveal a Slayer T-shirt.
