Rome Odunze Shares Honest Assessment On Justin Fields And Caleb Williams

It's widely understood that the Chicago Bears are likely aiming to draft a wide receiver given the depth at that position in this year's draft. Marvin Harrison Jr. from Ohio State is considered the top prospect, but LSU's Malik Nabers and Washington's Rome Odunze are also highly regarded. Some even argue that Nabers or Odunze could be on par with, or possibly even superior to, Harrison. During a recent interview on Radio Row with NBC Sports Chicago, Odunze shared his thoughts on both Justin Fields and Caleb Williams. He particularly emphasized Fields mobility and commended his ability to evade pressure and create opportunities for the Bears with his legs.

They’ve got a great quarterback in Justin Fields. I think he’s a baller. I think they’ve got some weapons. But I think they could add me, and [I could] be another asset for them.”

Rome went on to discuss his favorite aspects of Caleb Williams game.

“He’s a special player. He can deliver it inside the pocket. I even saw it firsthand, his ability to get outside the pocket and make people miss and make plays. His awareness to be able to look downfield and be able to make some of the throws he makes — man, it’s incredible to watch. He’s a special player. It would be exciting to play with him.”

Rome Odunze is a great fit no matter the quarterback.

Rome Odunze is exceptionally talented, and his perspectives on Justin Fields and Caleb Williams are fascinating. Rumors are circulating that the Bears might choose a quarterback at number 1. So if Odunze remains available at the 9th pick, it seems he could potentially team up with Caleb Williams for the Bears.
