Okudah was among the elite cornerbacks in college football this season. He was named a unanimous first-team All-American, a first-team All-Big Ten selection, and a Jim Thorpe finalist after racking up three interceptions, eight passes defensed, and 34 tackles in 13 games.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder could be the second defensive player taken in the draft behind teammate Chase Young.
