Watt Pays Respect To Matt Judon After Patriots Win"},"content":{"rendered":"

Linebacker Matthew Judon is having a career year, and one of the all-time best pass rushers of recent memory wanted to make sure he knew how great he truly is after the Patriots win in Arizona Monday night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, J.J. Watt, was caught on camera looking for Judon so he could pay respect to his fellow defender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watt and his Cardinals are the subjects of\u00a0<\/span>HBO Hard Knocks In Season.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGuy played his balls off,\u201d Watt tells a Cardinals assistant in a clip from the show. \u201cI want to tell him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The clip cuts to Watt finding Judon for an ensuing conversation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHey, you played your balls off, brother,\u201d Watt told the Patriots Pro Bowl linebacker. \u201cI appreciate you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Judon then shared the love back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo much respect, man,\u201d he told Watt. \u201cYou\u2019ve been doing this for a long time, and we\u2019re all watching, man. We\u2019re all following you, man.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
