My Take
Odunze is a prospect I am genuinely excited to track. At 191 cm with the body control he showed at Washington, where he was a consensus All-American and pushed for a national title in 2023, he projects as a true number-one receiver. Going ninth overall to the Bears in the 2024 draft put real expectations on his shoulders, and I think the high-point catches and contested-ball wins will translate fast to the NFL. The fun part is that we are watching the opening chapter. If the development curve holds, he could become one of the league's most reliable targets. I would not bet against him.
