The former No. 3 overall draft pick returns to the NFC North as the Vikings continue to rebuild their secondary.

  • Jeff Okudah, a 2020 first-round pick, has signed a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings, marking his fourth NFL team.
  • The 26-year-old cornerback visited the Vikings' TCO Performance Center in Eagan on March 17 before finalizing the deal the next day.
  • Okudah's career has been hindered by significant injuries, including a ruptured Achilles, abdominal surgery, and a hip injury, limiting his availability in recent seasons.
  • The Vikings have prioritized strengthening their secondary this offseason, re-signing Byron Murphy Jr. and adding Isaiah Rodgers alongside Okudah.
  • Over five NFL seasons, Okudah has appeared in 44 games with 31 starts, recording 145 tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble.
