As NFL fans around the country wait for some sort of a resolution with future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Vikings are continuing to search for other ways to improve their roster.
In search of more depth in the secondary, the Vikings announced Monday they were hosting cornerback Jeff Okudah on a visit at TCO Performance Center.
There’s some potential upside with Okudah considering he was the No. 3 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He has played for the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans in his career, and he could soon add the Vikings to that list. Though he will likely never be the elite player some thought he could be when he was a top prospect out of Ohio State, Okudah could benefit from working with defensive coordinator Brian Flores and defensive backs coach Daronte Jones.
If the Vikings are able to come to an agreement with Okudah, he would join a group of cornerbacks that includes Byron Murphy Jr., Isaiah Rodgers, Mekhi Blackmon and Dwight McGlothern, among others.
