MIAMI — If Jeff Okudah joins Darius Slay in the Detroit Lions secondary this fall, the two won’t need much of an acclimation period.

Slay, the Lions’ three-time Pro Bowl cornerback, said Wednesday on radio row at Super Bowl 54 that he and Okudah recently struck up a friendship over social media and would welcome the opportunity to be teammates in Detroit.

"He was like, 'Man, I love your game, bruh,'" Slay said.
