        Ben Johnson Offers High Praise for Rome Odunze

        By Shane Hallam | Updated on Wed, Jul 30 2025 3:28 AM UTC

        Bears WR Rome Odunze drew praise from HC Ben Johnson in terms of his rotue running and ability to beat CBs one-on-one. Odunze has drawn rave reviews from beat writers early in camp, including numerous highlight contested catches down the field. The second-year WR looks to break out after a disappointing rookie season.

        What They're Saying

        HC Ben Johnson: "To me, he fits that prototypical X receiver where you can line him up outside the numbers and provided he gets a one-on-one with a corner, he's going to win most of his matchups. Slant routes, stop routes, go routes, you know the whole route tree outside the numbers and that's what I've seen from him so far. He's a really detailed route runner. I think he had a route yesterday in one-on-ones that was really impressive, he's looking one way, breaks the other way, and really snaps it off for a sharp cut."

        This could be typical coach speak, but Johnson detailed what he saw from Odunze, referencing specific practice reps.

        With beat writers corroborating, Odunze appears to be putting on a clinic early in Johnson’s offense.

        After being selected ninth overall in 2024, Odunze disappointed as a rookie, finishing with just 54 catches for 734 yards and three TDs.

        His late seventh round ADP makes Odunze worth taking a chance on.
