Matthew Judon is not going to take any shot lying down! The 2016 draft pick joined the New England Patriots in 2021 and has made it clear on social media that he isn’t keen on shifting homes anytime soon.

After reports suggesting his trade popped up, Judon promptly shut them down with a meme on social media. While Patriots fans were still busy pondering whether it was a hint at an incoming extension or not, the edge rusher is back with another interesting post. And this time, he even called out the franchise’s No.3 draft pick of 2024!

The four-time Pro Bowl hosted a youth football camp recently, and judging by his throws, one can assume Judon is back from his bicep injury. The linebacker had torn his lower bicep in week four and had to be put on injury reserve for the rest of the season. Now the LB seems as fit as ever and even has a message for the youngest addition to the Patriots roster!

Judon posted a video of him throwing a football in the camp on his Instagram. He could be seen wearing a white jersey with the number 9 on it and performing a celebratory dance after the throw. He further tagged Drake Maye and wrote, “[Drake Maye] ain’t got s**t on me.”

Apart from the friendly poke at the rookie, Judon has been amid constant speculation about his future in the league. When a trade was suggested by a BR reporter, the linebacker had a hilarious response online affirming his stay in New England.

When the report by Alex Ballentine suggested the linebacker’s return to his former home, a former Ravens teammate also tried his luck in coaxing Judon back “home.” Quoting the article, Tony Jefferson wrote on X, “Bring Judon Home 🖤 💜,” to which the linebacker replied, “Now me and you both know.” Ultimately, the former safety had to make peace with Judon’s love for New England and replied with a sad meme.

Soon after this exchange, the 31-year-old reiterated the message for all and posted a ‘The Wolf of Wall Street‘ meme, in which Leonardo Dicaprio could be seen yelling, “I’m not fuc**ing leaving.”
