Strengths
With the increasing talent and size of wide receivers in the league, having a corner that match ups well has become a requirement for NFL teams to have. Jeff Okudah has just the size, and the speed to cause disruption from the play at the line to locking down a receiver anywhere on the field.
But what makes Okudah not only a top draft prospect, but a player that could be top five in the league, is his overall skill at the corner position. He is a ball-hawk and it seems as if he knows where the quarterback is going on every throw. Okudah is explosive and has perfect timing to break up any throw, whether it be across the middle or down the field.
Lastly, Okudah is disciplined and almost never out of position. And if you ask him, and one NFL reporter, he didn’t get flagged for a single holding or pass interference call last season.
Someone who I'm guessing didn't watch much Jeff Okudah last year asked him about having "a tendency to get kind of sloppy."

Okudah's response: "I had zero pass interferences, zero holdings, so cut the tape on the game. I think you might see something else." pic.twitter.com/oQ3rrtP3q1
Kind of wild if you think about it.
