Okudah out for the season… think this dude is done? What a terrible start to an NFL career for a highly anticipated prospect. And he’s been garbage when he’s played


I think we've just had such high hopes. Guy has played 10 Nfl Games, Top 5 Pick put alot of pressure of him. Playing for that terrible defensive last year has him not wanting to give up big plays. Still high potential

He’s losing another full season of development though, coming off a ruptured Achilles? Where is his confidence gonna be? Pleasant ripped him a new one after he blew the coverage on Deebo leading to a TD. I don’t want to write him off but he’s got a long, uphill road ahead of him if he wants to come back and be a great DB in this league

Tbh , trying to keep my head up on the situation, Okudah has way more potential than his secondary brother Will Harris Lol

But ya pleasant chewed his ass out, but theres a video ill find showing pleasant touching heads with him and embracing him right after. So shout out to pleasant for giving that touch love that okudah needs

Your right yes, But I was really hoping we could get them to go down 1 Spot and trade them something sweet. Like Golladay and Picks or w/e
Basically whatever we had to do . I thought Chase Young was THAT GUY

I dont think they were budging. Im pretty sure they viewed him as THAT GUY too.

Especially since he is from maryland, basically a hometown kid.

He's overrated as a product of a great overall OSU defense, he was good in college when he didn't have to cover for more than a few seconds, but he's not a viable NFL CB. He gets burned every damn game, this isn't college where you are going to be able to just be more athletic than the other guy, everyone in the NFL is as good as the best people he ever played.
