Despite joining the New England Patriots dawning the number nine, it seems it wasn't Matthew Judon's first choice when he came into the fold.
It was within the 2021 NFL offseason when Judon came aboard in New England on a four-year, $54 million deal, and then came time to pick his identity on the field for his new team, where things failed to fall in his favor.
During his appearance on The Money Down Podcast, hosted by former Patriots back James White, Judon dove into how he ended up with the jersey number he has today, revealing a comical backstory in the process.
