Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State
Post Combine
These 2 plays in 1 game illustrate Okudah's elite instincts and fluidity. He manages to avoid traffic, drive and burst, and then finish for the pass breakup. pic.twitter.com/HyUsfNYIBK

Jeff Okudah is so, so clean. Like his weaknesses are that he only had 3 INT because no one would throw at him.

I don't think anyone in the nation read 2 to1 as well as Ohio State corners. I love watching corners play cover 3 divide rules from press. Don't see it often. Big time stuff from Jeffrey Okudah pic.twitter.com/8Grm8Q8Kex

This is teach tape. Short, choppy steps. His feet are light and always underneath him. He has his shoulders over his toes with easy lateral hip transitions, all while keeping his eyes up. Okudah is an absolute stud. Ballerina feet. pic.twitter.com/UO7bKscwRi

Big reason why @jeffokudah is the top ranked CB is this draft is his TECHNIQUE. This is clinic tape on playing the back shoulder fade. Love to see it. #EverythingDB @Everything_DB pic.twitter.com/uSg96JVI7Z

John Reid is a CB prospect in the 2020 draft class out of Penn State.

He posted a great #RAS with poor size, good speed, great explosiveness, good agility at the CB position.https://t.co/D1fty4ldZt pic.twitter.com/hk3LYlUYpV

#Michigan WR Donovan Peoples-Jones was asked which player was his toughest matchup in college.
— Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) February 25, 2020
His answer — you guessed it — Jeff Okudah.
Toughest DB KJ Hamler faced?

“Most definitely Jeff Okudah”
Pre Combine
Comparing Okudah to other cornerbacks drafted in recent years, Jeremiah said the only one he had graded higher was Marshon Lattimore. The analyst compared Okudah's skill set and film to Stephon Gilmore.

Okudah, Henderson, and Gladney. All 3 are excellent man cover corners. https://t.co/zS5W3ur9Vo

By far my favorite player to watch on film this year. I think he’s better than Lattimore and Ward coming out. He has a chance to be a top-5 CB in the league if his development stays the course and he lands in the right scheme. https://t.co/m2ihDU4eLX
