INDIANAPOLIS – If Jeff Okudah had chosen not to work out at the NFL Scouting Combine, few would have blamed him.
After all, he’s already projected by many to be the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, and the expected top two picks in the draft – Joe Burrow and Chase Young – both opted not to participate in any drills at the combine.
Okudah, though, has dreamed of participating in the combine for years. He’s seen some of the NFL’s best cornerbacks, such as 2011 and 2016 fifth overall picks Patrick Peterson and Jalen Ramsey, solidify themselves as top draft prospects by putting together spectacular performances in Indianapolis.
