S25 E17: Kitan Oladapo
This week on Inside the Huddle, we are joined by a first-time guest, Green Bay Safety Kitan Oladapo.
Following a tough battle in Baltimore, Kitan takes us inside the film room to break down the conversations happening among the defense. He discusses the specific adjustments needed to get back on track and why the team is locked in on the upcoming divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings.
We also highlight the Gruber Law Offices "Good Drive of the Game," which belongs to Malik Willis for his impressive 11-yard rushing touchdown. Kitan gives us a glimpse into Malik’s impact on the team, describing him as a phenomenal locker room presence who consistently brings the kind of positive energy that lifts the entire roster.
The conversation dives deep into the safety room, where Kitan explains the "X-factor" provided by Xavier McKinney. He notes that the younger players are constantly learning from McKinney’s elite football IQ, marveling at his ability to anticipate a quarterback's every move before the snap.
As the team looks toward the postseason, Kitan emphasizes that regaining momentum is all about the details—preparation, intensity, and stacking "good days" during the practice week. Looking ahead to the Vikings, Kitan shares his defensive process, including how the absence of Justin Jefferson shifts the offensive scheme and which playmakers still demand maximum attention.
Finally, Kitan reflects on his second year in the league and his journey back to 100% health. He even shares his ultimate "welcome to the NFL" moment: the daunting task of having to block JJ Watt on a punt return, a memory that still stands out as one of his toughest challenges on the field.
