Nickname?
Okudah: Jefe. When I went to Ohio State, being around the guys, they just thought Jeff was kind of a bland name for a cornerback. So they just said let's spice it up and started calling me Jefe. It stuck and it kind of matches the way I play. Off the field I'm just kind of cool, chilling.
Hometown?
Okudah: Grand Prairie, Texas.
If a Lions fan were to come to your hometown, the first place you'd take them is …
Okudah: My high school stadium. It's called the Warrior Bowl.
College major?
Okudah: Communications.
Favorite TV show?
Okudah: Big fan of Prison Break.
Favorite emoji?
Okudah: The chili pepper.
Favorite meal?
Okudah: I like going to Benihana. I usually get the chicken and shrimp.
