COLUMBUS, Ohio — Cornerback Jeff Okudah, whose NFL career started with the Lions and featured stints with the Falcons and Texans, has signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. Okudah is a former Ohio State standout who was a unanimous All-American in 2019.

After another less-than-spectacular season, Okudah signed with a new NFL team, the Houston Texans for the 2024 season and suffered another season-ending injury. The former five-star recruit is hoping to be fully healthy and perhaps make a jump in play for the Vikings in 2025.

The Vikings agreed to terms with Okudah, 26, a 6-1, 205-pound cornerback known for his physicality. He'll provide depth in the secondary.

In the newest mock draft from USA Today, the Houston Texans shore up their offensive line by finding the heir for Laremy Tunsil.

According to Kiper Jr., the Packers should select former Ohio State star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka 23rd overall after they declined to trade for or sign any of the available veteran players on the open market, such as Davante Adams, D.K. Metcalf, and Cooper Kupp.

The Green Bay Packers don't have a high first-round pick, and in a mock draft Mel Kiper picked an Ohio State WR to help Jordan Love.
