Seattle Seahawks' DK Metcalf says Detroit Lions' Jeff Okudah isn't 'locking people down'

Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf isn't buying the Jeff Okudah hype just yet.

He didn't call the Detroit Lions cornerback a scrub, but his meaning was clear when speaking with Seahawks beat writers Wednesday.

"There’s a safety over the top of him, so he’s really not locking people down," Metcalf said of the Lions' 2020 No. 3 overall pick. "But he’s a good corner.”

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson might have a different take; Okudah shadowed Jefferson across the field — even going into the slot, something he hadn't done before — to cover him on 32 plays, according to NextGenStats.
