Hudson entered the league as a fifth-round pick for the Commanders in 2020. He was a high-volume special teams player in Washington for four years and made eight starts at linebacker in 2023. Hudson didn’t make the Saints final roster after signing with them this offseason but landed on the team’s practice squad and was called up for Week 1. He will now be a permanent fixture of the Browns’ 53-man roster.

Hudson was finishing up a UDFA contract and was set for restricted free agency in 2023 after the Commanders drafted him in 2020 and waived him. He's primarily a special-teams player, with just 146 defensive snaps in three seasons.
