Saturday open thread: What are your expectations for Jeff Okudah in Year 2?

After a season plagued by poor coaching and injuries, Jeff Okudah seems more than ready to put 2020 firmly behind him.

“It’s only been two or three months,” said Okudah back in early May, “and we still have all this work to do. But it has me excited of how much more there is to learn and how much better there is to get leading up to the season.”

Okudah ranked 115th out of 121 qualifying cornerbacks in 2020, and after being drafted third overall by Detroit in the 2020 NFL Draft, his play didn’t live up to the lofty expectations that come with being that high of a selection.
