The difference, Jeff Okudah said about his play, is quite stark.
“I want to say it’s night and day,” the Detroit Lions' rookie cornerback said Wednesday. “I still have a long ways to go. I’ve learned a lot about the nuances of the position, the little details.
“I’ve really relied on the other (defensive backs) in the room. The veterans on the team were a lot of help. So that’s been really big.”
Okudah, the No. 3 overall pick out of Ohio State, didn’t make his debut until Week 2, when he drew a tough assignment helping cover Davante Adams in the 42-21 loss at Green Bay.
