Lions fans can only laugh at Vikings after latest Jeff Okudah signing

The Detroit Lions spent the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah with the thought he would eventually become a Pro Bowl cornerback that stabilizes the entire defense. Instead, he flamed out so spectacularly that he was gone in three seasons. Okudah, who has a case to be made for the worst draft pick in franchise history, is still trying to convince teams that the player who captivated everyone at Ohio State. However, his year with the Houston Texans in 2024 was quite gnarly on film. Even after last year, that designation of "former No. 3 overall pick" is powerful enough to convince teams around the league that he can finally turn it around for them. The NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings, despite getting some up-close looks at him, decided that they have what it takes to turn him around. The Vikings have agreed to terms with Okudah on a one-year contract for the 2025 season after losing multiple starters from last season in free agency. Minnesota may get a crash course
