    Rome Odunze will be a key piece for the revamped Chicago Bears in the 2024 season. The wide receiver is expected to be one of Caleb Williams' top targets, and he's already sharing his wisdom with youngsters who have NFL aspirations.

    Odunze, who played his college ball at the University of Washington, went viral on Tuesday after giving Kobe Bryant advice to a pair of high schoolers at Bears practice. Check out the video below, courtesy of Ari Meirov:

    The video has been viewed over 100,000 times, with NFL fans praising Odunze for his maturity:

    "Rome has a head on his shoulders," one supporter said.

    "well-spoken guy fr," another fan stated.

    Odunze was the Bears' ninth overall pick in April after a standout college career for the Huskies. He reeled in 92 catches for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns last season for Washington en route to an appearance in the National Championship.

    Big things are expected out of Odunze, and by the looks of it, he's already quite mature above the shoulders.
