After standout performance, Keion White says Matthew Judon ‘passed the torch’

Matthew Judon saluted Keion White’s performance during Sunday’s win over the Bengals with a brief comment on White’s Instagram page.

White posted a few photos of himself along with highlight clips of his 2.5 sack performance. It was a breakout game for the 2023 second-round pick, who only had one sack all of last season.

“3 of them,” Judon said, noting the number of sacks White was involved in on Sunday.

“Passed the torch,” White wrote in response to Judon.

Judon, who led the Patriots in sacks during two of the three seasons he spent in New England, was traded to the Atlanta Falcons during training camp after he and the Patriots were unable to work out a contract dispute.
