Leading up to the 2021 season we traded promising but raw QB Drew Lock and a 4th rounder to Washington for DT Matt Ioannidis. We had every intention of seeing Lock blossom into our franchise QB but our window is now for a ring. A hidden gem burried on a stacked Washington defensive front, Matt was too good a player to pass up on.
The goal has been to assemble a God Hand on the defensive front with hopes of creating scenarios where Von Miller nor Bradley Chubb could never be doubled or chipped. Acclimating to a new system, Ioannidis' stats don't tell the full story of the impact he's had on the defense since joining.
Accumalating 5 sacks to go along with 16 tackle for losses, Matt proved he's among the elite interior lineman in this league. Heading into the offseason Ioannidis looks to work on stuffing inside runs and his near elite bull rush move. Looking for a new contract, this was the perfect time to emerge as a superstar.
