My Take
What I admire about Matthew Judon is the grind behind the name. A fifth-round pick out of Division II Grand Valley State, where he piled up record sacks, he had every reason to be overlooked, yet he forced his way into the NFL and stuck around through Baltimore, New England, Atlanta, and Miami. That kind of journeyman durability for an edge linebacker tells me everything about his motor and his refusal to coast. Pontiac, Michigan does not hand out shortcuts, and Judon clearly never expected one. I gravitate toward players who turn doubt into fuel, and his whole arc reads exactly like that.
Overview

He played college football for the Grand Valley State Lakers, where he set the Division II record for sacks, and was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL draft.
