The NFL Draft led to exciting new revelations for the upcoming 2024 season but the union of Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze takes the cake. Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze were both projected to be the number 1 ranked quarterback and wide receiver respectively.

Yet in a surprising move, the Bears used their ninth pick to choose the Huskies’ WR, and thus, his former coach had nothing but well wishes for the youngster’s future and dynamic alongside Caleb Williams.

On 29th April, the ‘670 The Score’ show, released their newest episode which had the newly appointed Alabama HC Kalen DeBoer join on as a guest. he was heard praising the Bears on their selection of Rome Odunze and further emphasized his talent and performance. During the 22-23 season, Odunze played under DeBoer and as such, they developed a great chemistry with each other.

DeBoer said, “I think from what I’ve seen a little bit. They’ve kind of built that relationship already even before they realize they’re going to get drafted. It’s going to be really cool seeing those two connect just because of the time they’re coming into the league and also where they played. I think there’s a special connection there that they’re going to be about and getting a chance to prove themselves individually and collectively together.” Both Williams and Odunze have a long way to go and hopefully, they’ll be able to make history with the Bears this season. Moreover, here’s a look at how much it means to the family of Odunze upon hearing the news of his arrival to the NFL.
