Is Oluokun set to get the respect he deserves in the middle of Ryan Nielsen's defense?
Foyesade Oluokun knows what it is like to be overlooked. Despite earning All-Ivy League honors in his final collegiate season, the fifth-year senior did not earn an invitation to the NFL Combine.
Despite the impressive statistics, he has not received many accolades. No player has made more tackles over the past five years than Oluokun, yet he has never made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team. This season, Oluokun will likely be playing as a weak-side linebacker, a position that can help emphasize his speed and overall versatility. He says that he is familiar with the position, after beginning his career on the weak-side before switching to middle linebacker.
Nielsen previously served as the defensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons, where he led a defense that ranked 11th in fewest yards allowed per game in 2023.
