Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan both passed the 1,000-yard mark in 2022, but they don’t need to in 2023.

Odunze and McMillan combined for 2,243 yards and 154 receptions in 2022 as a high percentage of the offense went through the two third-year wide receivers. However, in 2023 this doesn’t need to be the case for Washingtonf football have a successful offense.

Last season, Odunze and McMillan had just over 41% of the team’s receptions. They will still have a high percentage of receptions in 2023, but that should decrease a little with Ja’Lynn Polk expected to see more targets.
