It’s easy to forget Rome Odunze at the moment, but don’t make that mistake.
If it wasn’t for No. 1 pick Caleb Williams’ total eclipse of the spotlight, and the Bears already having top-notch wide receivers in DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, the conversation around Odunze would be about whether he’ll become the greatest receiver in franchise history.
That’s the typical expectation on receivers picked in the top 10. They’re instant focal points. Teams draft them to be immediate game changers.
And that’s Odunze’s mindset. He’s got a healthy humility and obvious respect for Moore and Allen, but he’s not planning to stay in their shadows.
