Bears WR Rome Odunze showcased in ‘Meet the Rookies’ series

The Chicago Bears have a lot of faith in wide receiver Rome Odunze. They wouldn’t have selected him ninth overall in the 2024 NFL draft if they didn’t. He will come in with fellow rookie Caleb Williams and try to grow with him, which would help the offense become a juggernaut.

The Bears have a talented receiver room this season, which includes returning veteran DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, who the team traded for earlier this offseason. With Odunze added in, they should be a great trio of receivers for Williams to develop with. The now-former Washington star is ready for big action in the NFL.

Chicago’s social team has been doing “Meet the Rookies” features, which takes a deep dive into a player’s personal life and what led them to where they are today. For Odunze, it is incredible to see his progression into an NFL draft pick.

Odunze has the tools and support system away from the field to help him become a star in the most incredible football league in the world. His family is a big part of his life and supportive of his career.

Learning about Odunze’s personal life ahead of the NFL makes you appreciate him as a player even more. Chicago isn’t known for developing elite receivers, but Odunze is set to change that mold.
