Fans called him "fake" and "dull," with one writing on Instagram: "This obvious attempt to play up Clayton left me nauseous the entire episode. Boring as hell and so contrived."
Several viewers compared him to Colton Underwood, and not in a nice way.
While fans didn't like him, insiders told Us Weekly at the time: "Clayton stood out right off the bat.
"Producers ended up going with him because they believed he was the best fit for the role.
"They wanted to switch things up and go with someone new and someone who hasn't been in the spotlight yet."

Clayton hails from Eureka, Missouri.
He played football for the Missouri Tigers in 2012 and was drafted by the NFL four years later.
