Vikings’ biggest offseason regret is now painfully obvious after latest news

Heading into the 2025 NFL season, there were a lot of rumblings that cornerback Jeff Okudah was making big strides in training camp and practices and could be a huge part of the team's defense this season.

Instead, the free agent acquisition has not defended a single pass with the Vikings in six games, registering only 14 tackles and recovering one fumble. The former No. 3 overall pick of the Detroit Lions has been a disappointment thus far.

Okudah has been out of action lately due to a concussion, and that situation did not improve throughout the week.
