THE DAILY DRIVE: Lions cornerback Jeff Okudah is playing with joy, and it's making a difference AUDIO: 'Carlos & Shawn': The Detroit Lions quarterback conundrum: Is there an easy answer?

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • DETROITLIONS.COM

Jeff Okudah is playing with joy, and it's making a difference for the Lions Detroit drafted Okudah to be a game-changer. And in Year 3, finally healthy, the cornerback is showing just how valuable he can be.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

First career pick-six Okudah recorded one tackle and two pass breakups with one interception during Sunday's 31-30 win over Chicago.

Impact Okudah arguably made the play of the game by intercepting Justin Fields for a short pick-six that helped launch Detroit's comeback. While his tackle total matched a season low, Okudah has at least flashed double-digit-tackle upside on two occasions so far. The third-year cornerback will look to add to his season totals of 50 tackles and five PBUs during a Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

Jeff Okudah among Lions' young players showing growth, promise for the future Okudah, Aidan Hutchinson, Penei Sewell, Josh Paschal and Kerby Joseph stood out Sunday, even amid a loss to Dallas.

OCTOBER 26, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Totals 15 tackles Okudah recorded 15 total tackles with one tackle for loss during Sunday's 24-6 loss to Dallas.

Impact The tackle total was the most for a Lions player in roughly a decade and easily the most for Okudah since racking up 10 tackles in the season opener. While Okudah only tallied 14 tackles in the four games between those two productive outings -- including a one-tackle effort in Week 5 against New England -- these flashes of IDP brilliance make the former No. 1 overall pick an upside fantasy play in certain formats.
