New Chicago Bears wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El expressed great enthusiasm about working with Rome Odunze during a recent media session. Randle El ranked Odunze as his top wide receiver in the 2024 draft class, contrasting with the popular rankings that placed Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers ahead of him.
Odunze, who was among the top three receivers in his draft class, made a notable impact in his rookie season with the Bears, accumulating 734 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Randle El, known for his coaching success with the Detroit Lions, is set to mentor Odunze and the rest of the receiving corps as part of the Bears’ offensive development under newly appointed head coach Ben Johnson, with high expectations for a strong performance from Odunze in the upcoming season.
