Baltimore Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon truly came into his own in the 2017 season. Following an encouraging rookie campaign where he notched four sacks in limited playing time, Judon followed up with a breakout sophomore season in which he was one of the league’s best sack artists.

With nine sacks on 33 total pressures, Judon showed incredible efficiency and was able to generate a 27.3 percent sack rate. Though he was only a second-year player, Judon managed to finish second to only Terrell Suggs as the Ravens’ leader in sacks. While his bread and butter is the pass rush, Judon showed that he can be an all-around threat too, as he posted 60 combined tackles, two forced fumbles and three pass deflections last season. For his Week 11 performance against the Packers in which he posted seven combined tackles, two sacks and forced a fumble, Judon received the honor of AFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Having only just two seasons under his belt, the sky seems to be the limit for Judon, who has already shown massive strides in his development and ability. At this rate, it seems like Judon is well on his way to joining the upper echelons of football’s best pass rushers.
