Continuous Improvement

As any respectable engineer would say, continuous improvement is the key to success. There is no maximum greatness, every player needs to work hard every day to keep improving and claim a place on an NFL roster.

Ojemudia showed his commitment to continuous improvement during his college career, and the next stats are the final results of his hard work:

RS-Sophmore: Ojemudia allowed 8.6 yards per target and 3 touchdowns and he played a mere 331 snaps on the season.

RS-Junior: His snap count rose to 563. Allowed 7.4 yards per target and also 3 touchdowns. He also made 3 interceptions.

RS-Senior: Ojemudia got his final snap count to 747, and reduced his total amount od touchdowns allowed to 1. He got 3 interceptions and allowed a top percentile 4.8 yards per target.

The Iowa product may not start the 2020 season as the unquestionable CB2, but he showed in his college years that he has no problem working out for a year to maximize his potential and that when the time comes, he will continue learning and improving his skills in the next level.
