The announcement seemed inevitable with the way training camp had been going, but on Sunday night after the Detroit Lions loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, coach Dan Campbell announced that former third overall pick Jeff Okudah has won the starting cornerback job over Will Harris.
“I feel like he has been trending in the right direction now for two weeks,” Campbell said of Okudah at the post-game press conference. “So, I would say he finished up strong and he’s going in the right direction.”
So has Okudah locked up the starting cornerback spot opposite Amani Oruwariye?
