Michael Rashard Clayton (born October 13, 1982 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) was drafted with the 15th selection of the 2004 NFL draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a wide receiver.

Clayton played college football at Louisiana State where he was part of the NCAA co-champion LSU Tigers. During his three years with LSU, he caught 182 passes for 2,582 yards and 21 TDs for the Tigers, and holds the LSU record for career TD receptions with 21. He finished second in school history in receptions with 182, just one shy of tying Wendell Davis's record of 183. He is ranked fourth in career receiving yards with 2,582 and seventh in career 100-yard games, and is the only player in LSU history to have at least 700 yards receiving in three straight seasons.

After a promising 2004 rookie campaign with Tampa Bay, where he led all NFL rookies and the Buccaneers with 80 receptions for 1193 yards, and his team with 7 touchdowns, Clayton had a relatively disappointing season in 2005. With knee surgery in the off-season and a season riddled with small mistakes on the field, he finished up with just 32 receptions for a total of 372 yards and no touchdowns. He was forced to sit out the final game of the regular season against the New Orleans Saints with a turf toe injury, and also sat out the Buccaneers playoff match up against the Washington Redskins. His second season was very disapointing and inconsistant, but Clayton and his fans expect a big improvment in 2006.
