Patriots Pro Bowl DE Matthew Judon wants to be left 'the F alone' after receiving yet another random drug test request

New England Patriots star defensive end Matthew Judon has received yet another random drug test request from the NFL, but this time, he doesn't find the news amusing.

Less than two weeks ago, Judon -- who is tied atop of the league's sacks leaderboard at 14.5 -- tweeted "At this point they building another me with all the nose swabs n pee they got from me," after getting another random test. On Nov. 25, the three-time Pro Bowler tweeted "How many random drug test can one have?"

Now in his seventh NFL season (and second with the Patriots), the former fifth round pick of the Baltimore Ravens is having perhaps his best year statistically. In just 13 games, Judon has already set a career-high with his 14.5 sacks and is on pace to set new high marks in combined tackles (50) and quarterback hits (26) among other categories.

He's recorded at least one sack in nine games this season and has had two-plus sacks in three separate contests, including when he had 3.0 in the team's Week 9 win against the Indianapolis Colts. Judon earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for the second time in his career following the team's 29-0 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 5, when he had four quarterback hits, 2.0 sacks and one forced fumble, despite playing a season-low 36 snaps.

Judon is far from the only player to complain this season about random drug tests. One day following his six-catch, 156-yard, three-touchdown effort in Week 8, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took to twitter to complain about his selection for a test.

Judon and the Patriots will travel to take on the Las Vegas Raiders at 4:05 ET on Sunday.
