Just like it was a bit of a slow start in college, it appears Jeff Okudah has find his rhythm in the NFL. Last week shutting down arguably the best wide-receiver in the NFL. From The Ringer.
Okudah hasn’t just won a starting job for the Lions. He has become one of the team’s tentpoles. The Lions want to play man coverage, and they want to blitz. You can’t do that without cornerbacks who can travel with opposing receivers and play man coverage without help, as the help has already been sent on a blitz. Through three weeks of the season, Okudah has been the best and most important player on the Lions defense.
