Matthew Judon Calls Out NFL Over Drug Test After Big ‘MNF’ Outing
The New England linebacker was not happy about the league’s recent decision.
Matthew Judon produced another exceptional performance on the season in the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football.
The New England linebacker posted four tackles (one for a loss), two quarterback pressures and 1 1/2 sacks against Arizona’s offense. Now, three days after that performance, the NFL apparently is making the three-time Pro Bowler take a drug test.
Judon tweeted a message from the league on Thursday that he had been selected for a performance-enhancing substance test. Unhappy with the league’s decision, Judon did not hold back on his thoughts regarding the matter.
“Dear @NFLPA@NFL leave me the F alone please. It’s no way this is random. I take melatonin to sleep sometimes. The rest is just vibes,” the 30-year-old tweeted.
Per league policy, 10 players from each team are selected to be tested at random by a computer program each week during the preseason and regular season.
Through 13 games this season, Judon has compiled a career-high 14 1/2 sacks, which is the tied for the NFL lead with the 49ers’ Nick Bosa.
