Jeff Okudah, the former third overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, is currently a free agent after a challenging stint with the Minnesota Vikings, where injuries and performance issues limited his playtime to just 12 games over the past two seasons. The Miami Dolphins, facing a significant need for cornerback depth, are reportedly considering Okudah as a low-risk option for their roster. The Dolphins have struggled with their cornerback unit, which has been described as one of the worst in the NFL. With the NFL Draft approaching, Miami's new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan has seven picks in the Top 100, providing an opportunity to bolster their cornerback position further. Potential draft prospects include Mansoor Delane from LSU and Jermod McCoy from Tennessee, among others. As Okudah approaches his 28th birthday around the Super Bowl, his future in the NFL remains uncertain, but he could find a new opportunity in Miami.
