Though rookie receiver and top-10 pick Rome Odunze hasn’t played an NFL snap yet, he knows he wants to be one of the best rookie receivers to ever do it. Puka Nacua had a historic campaign for the Los Angeles Rams last season and so he’s set the pace for players like Odunze, a former teammate of Nacua’s at the University of Washington, to chase the new rookie receiving records.
“I think that’s important for every player to set those goals and strive for the highest of the highs,” Odunze said. “It’s unique in my situation because I went to school with Puka Nacua, so I was following him and got to see what he did, so, absolutely, I’m chasing that.
