It didn't take long for the Bears to revamp their offensive unit.
After choosing Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night, Chicago landed Rome Odunze at No. 9. The Washington star should bolster a wide receiver room that already features DJ Moore and Keenan Allen.

Odunze was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award in 2023, totaling 92 receptions for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns. With Michael Penix Jr. finding him all over the field, he set a new school record for most receiving yards in a single season.
The Bears are hoping that Odunze's success with the Huskies will translate to the NFL. He could form a dynamic duo with Williams for years to come and emerge as a fan favorite for a franchise that has consistently struggled offensively.
