Gabe Jacas aims to channel Judon as Patriots rookie
Patriots' 2026 second-round pick Gabe Jacas says he will model his edge-rushing game after Matthew Judon, highlighting similarities in speed-to-power and hand use. He credits former Patriots coach Joe Kim for development, noting Kim’s influence from New England to Illinois, where Jacas posted 11 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss as a senior; Jacas also recounted his Patriots visit with Kim hinting at a future role for him.
