Matthew Judon has seen a lot since joining the NFL in 2016, but this year still presents a first for him. Up until this offseason, he has never been part of an head coaching change.
With the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick mutually parting ways in January, however, Judon now gets to experience what such a franchise-altering transition feels like. For Judon, who said it was “amazing” to learn from the Patriots’ long-time head coach, this change ushered in a new era capable of revitalizing the franchise.
“I think just with him leaving, it’s just new energy and new life in the building,” the Pro Bowl linebacker said during an appearance on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football on Wednesday.
