Late last week, New England Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy, a pending free agent, joined “The Pat McAfee Show” and was asked about Joe Judge, who was hired by the New York Giants as their head coach in January.

Unsurprisingly, Van Noy, like many players who worked with Judge in both New England and Alabama, had nothing but good things to say about him and his relentless motor.

“He’s a ball of energy. If he can take the energy he has and consistently, each and every day, line it up with that positive energy and not go, ‘Woo woo,’ all over the place, I think they’re going to be really, really good because he’s a really good coach. He loves football,” Van Noy said.

“That’s not me selling him, that’s just straight fact. He loves football.”

Van Noy added that Judge can sometimes be all over the place, but at the end of the day, he’s a full-on football mind and when he gets focused, “it’s money.”

Speaking of money, the Giants have a lot of that entering free agency and are in need of some linebackers, which is something Van Noy clearly recognizes.

“Go Giants!” he added.

Leverage is everything when it comes to free agency, and Van Noy is looking for a payday. Will Judge and the Giants give it to him?
