In the segment announcing Judon's selection, New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu shared his insight into the star defensive end's abilities. "He can cover running backs out of the backfield, he can obviously pass rush, he can defend the run," Mathieu said. "Being with a guy like Bill Belichick, they run a versatile system and it allows guys like him to really show who they are."
The defensive room for the New England Patriots is not as littered with veterans as it once was. But despite still having the experience of Devin McCourty, Lawrence Guy and even Matthew Judon in the building, it’s been Ja’Whaun Bentley who has played a pivotal role in the communication on that side of the ball. I’m not going to lie, Bent is our leader,” Judon said last week in reference to the fifth-year linebacker.
Matthew Judon made the NFL's Top 100 list for 2022, and a couple rival players had plenty of praise for the Patriots linebacker.
