Lions believe Amani Oruwariye is ‘more than ready’ to start if need be

Through the first two weeks of Detroit Lions training camp, all eyes have been on rookie cornerback Jeff Okudah. When you’re the third overall pick in the draft, you’re going to draw people’s eyes. And while his play is certainly trending up, he’s gone through some rookie moments as he adjusts to life in the NFL. It doesn’t help that he’s going against a pretty impressive receiving duo. To be blunt, Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones Jr. have bested him often, especially towards the beginning of the camp.

As a result, Okudah is still mostly repping with the second-team defense.
