An ideal fit for a 4-3 Cover 2 or 3-4 zone-blitz scheme, leveraging his athletic ability in space complemented by his intelligence and read-and-react skills.
Okereke can contribute immediately as a special teams player and rotational linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a starting weakside linebacker able to cover and blitz.
A pure two-gap 3-4 defensive front which would consistently ask him to shed blocks and occupy offensive linemen, diminishing his athletic advantages.
Okereke's high motor and football IQ make him a versatile asset in schemes that prioritize agility and coverage over brute strength.
Selected #89 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Indianapolis Colts out of Stanford.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
