NFL Draft: Jeff Okudah In Thom Browne

UNITED STATES — The NFL held the first round of its first virtual NFL Draft on Thursday night, which turned out to be history-making moments for rising stars, as they turned their dreams into reality.

Over the years, the NFL Draft has often been a sports fashion event. Even though the young prospects were stuck at home for the draft, they still showed-up in style.

One of the best dressed prospects was Jeff Okudah. The Detroit Lions pick wore a Thom Browne outfit for the NFL Draft, but it wasn’t the look they had planned initially. According to the brand, Okudah had been fitted for a suit after Paris Fashion Week, but they all decided to pass on the suit for a more casual look due to current circumstances. The suit was stuck at the atelier for alterations due to the lockdown, and so they resorted to a preppy casual outfit that was put together virtually.

“Team Thom Browne really came through for me despite the circumstances,” said Okudah, the 21-year-old cornerback. “I felt really good in my outfit. The suit I was going to wear will definitely have its moment at some point, so stay tuned.”
