Williams and Odunze teaming up on the Bears was telegraphed just days before the NFL draft. Reporters confirmed that WIlliams and Odunze took the same flight to the NFL draft. Odunze was also reportedly catching passes from Williams before the draft.
Both players spoke highly of each other when speaking to the media. They also played got a look at each other the last two seasons in college. USC and Washington played each other in Pac-12 action in Odunze and Williams last two college seasons.
The early connection between the two new Bears should help them build tight chemistry.
The Bears have built an elite offense for Caleb Williams
Rome Odunze is another peice to complete what is on paper a dynamic Bears offense. The Bears offense now boasts DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet, and D’Andre Swift. A Bears rookie QB has never had offensive weapons like this. Caleb Williams has the best chance to succeed that any rookie Bears QB has ever had.
The only question about the Bears offense now is whether the offensive line can hold up. Darnell Wright and Teven Jenkins had good 2023 seasons. The young linemen showed major improvement over the length of the season.
