This guy’s personality is off the charts. Hats off to his parents too for raising such a good kid. It’s hard to believe with his talent he’s not going to become a great receiver in the NFL. Good luck to him and Caleb with the Bears. About to be winning time. 🐻
I agree. He’s gunna be like Jerry rice work ethic. I think he may be the best reciever in this draft. Not taking a shot at MHJ and Nabers because I know they will shine but not everyone can be great!
Born and Raised in Seattle , watching Rome and Pennix they some DAWGS, the most fun UW team I’ve ever seen ,can’t wait to watch him ball out in the league
What a nice young man.almost brought tears to my eyes listen to him talk about his grandpa.being a grandpa myself I cherish my grandchildren but what an amazing family.
Bears are playing in the HOF game this year as Devin Hester is getting inducted, Rome will definitely get to meet and hang out with him, It really seems that the stars are aligning.
Bears Season Ticket Holder here…this young man is IMPRESSIVE! Love him already and seems like a good guy off-field. Between the lines, he is a BOSS! Bear Down and welcome to Chicago!
Caleb and Rome are too good to be true: Smart, hard working young men who are well rounded humans who seem very real. thats doesnt mean they will be great pro athletes but props to their parents for raising well rounded children.
Just want to say, this series is by far the best on TH-cam for getting to know the experience of being an NFL player. My brother played college football in the 1980s and had he been lucky enough to have gentleman like you as teammates and mentors, he would not have given up his dream. Keep doing what you're doing. I Love it.
As a Bears fan I was torn about what we should do with No.9 but after listening to Rome we better draft this kid if he is available. A no doubt great work ethic and being brought up to understand hard work pays off. That you cannot teach!
Good prediction you and me both know those from Chicago have that work ethic and never quit !!! He will embrace us so easily and take on the hard nosed blue collar team an help us win ❤️❤️❤️
Can’t believe your getting drafted by my favorite team.. also can’t believe what you were saying about the goat 🐐D Hester shiii gave me chills! So happy to have you in Chicago Rome!
I wanted the NY Giants to take him instead of the LSU slot. It took me years of watching football to realize their are specimen WRs who are epic between the 20s where its easier to get yards. but in the red zone they are limp as pool noodles. Odunze catches with his hands and he smokes DBs who play close. Contested catches are a specialty and that's a red zone skill many dont have. Chicago had an epic draft in round 1.
Offensive rookie of the year.. Caleb will be in MVP talks. Bears are going to be scarier than most people think….. They legitimately have a chance to be a top 5 NFL offense, if not top 3. Feels like a dream even thinking about it as a Bears fan. LFGGG!!!
I buying Romes Jersey 100% his character is great along with his skill I'm sold Bear 🐻 down and welcome to Chicago Rome Odunze can't wait to see you ball out my man !!!!
I thought that at the time…the fact that he wouldn’t quit the drill was a really good sign about his level of determination. I hope he balls out with the Bears, and I suspect he won’t have it any other way!
Rome is well-spoken, ultra competitive, and genuinely humble. He doesn't have the freakish talent of MHJ or Nabers, but his relentless work ethic could easily make him the best WR in this class.
This was a great interview and great to get to know Rome and his family and background. Welcome Chicago up BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈 A great young man Love the pick!!
Rome having the awareness to note the downside of the schools like mater dei and bishop gorman and how it takes away from the local public schools is beyond wise.
Rome is special,superstar in the making. The future is bright for him,i can't wait to see him play in the NFL. I hope soon,to bring my boy Michael Penix Jr on the pivot,gonna be a dope episode.
My baby brothers that ive been raising since i was 15 due to my mother's untimely departure are ranked in baseball and football and have 15 plus D1 scholarship offers coming across my table and listening to these young guys talk about how NIL and the dynamic of college has taught me a lot and my baby brothers keep telling me how good im doing but my point is i graduated college in 2017 and the game had changed and these younger dudes are smart man lbs
Would be a very full circle moment for him going from watching that Hester video thousands of times as a little kid to wearing that navy blue and orange every Sunday. Hopefully Chicago can make it happen for him.
Y’all better leave Freddie T alone! He ain’t ole! Just well seasoned!😊 I luv the way y’all bring people that I don’t know and by the time the podcast is over, I know the real person, not necessarily the athlete or actor!💛🏉🖤🏈 And he’s easy on the eyes!!😏🤭
100% true, one kid on their team starts off playing for St.Frances in Baltimore then transferred and played for a school in Georgia now he will be suiting up for Bishop Gorman this year. His name James Carrington class of 2026
Incredibly impressed with such a well spoken thoughtful young man. I want him in a Bear uniform even more now. Don’t trade down Ryan Poles, stick and pick.
I wasn't a Washington fan until I watched Rome and MP on the field and they beat the Oregon Ducks made me a forever fan of both. I'm definitely following both of their careers. Rome deserves to go into the draft in a high position but I would love to see him play for my Chiefs or the Steelers. Much Love🫶🏾
this dude is going to be a HOF WR if he stays healthy. and he will be a success long beyond the game of football is over for him. dude should be governor of Nevada or a Senator or something when it's all done.
Hope the Jags can trade up to draft him. He's hard working and humble, but confident in himself at the same time. Seems like the type of player that fits into the culture they are building.

Ngl. I understand you giving praise to his parents. But yeah, shut up. 👍🏾
Well spoken for a young man. Compared to other draft interviews, he is a man amongst boys.
This young man has it all together. Head on straight. Articulate. Respectful. A breath of fresh air.
Williams to Odunze - you’ll be hearing that a lot, Chicago fans.
You are smart
Out of all the top 3 WRs. I think Romes character is the best out of them all
I agree. He’s gunna be like Jerry rice work ethic. I think he may be the best reciever in this draft. Not taking a shot at MHJ and Nabers because I know they will shine but not everyone can be great!
@@NikkiDickson-ui9ix Rome bout to ball out
Easily, kid is smart great work ethic. He plays with more toughness than MHJ and Nabers combined.
And it's not even close
It's nice to see how humble he is, I wish him a great career in the NFL. Can't wait to watch him play! GO GET IT ROME!
Born and Raised in Seattle , watching Rome and Pennix they some DAWGS, the most fun UW team I’ve ever seen ,can’t wait to watch him ball out in the league
I want both on the Giants. Need the football Gods to make it happen
Don’t forget about Polk that boy a dog too
What a nice young man.almost brought tears to my eyes listen to him talk about his grandpa.being a grandpa myself I cherish my grandchildren but what an amazing family.
Sometimes I wonder do younger players realize how good Fred Taylor really was because he is so humble on the show💯
Facts! Freddy T was that guy!!
Freddy T one of the most underrated 💯
I was a big LT fan but never really heard about Fred til this show smh. Wish i would of got to watch him when i was younger
Aye I was born in the 90’s and didn’t realize how cold he truly was. Most definitely should be a HOF
I was born in the 90s as well and I caught the tail end of his career right before was a monster. He’s the best player in Jags history frfr.
He's a Bear NOW!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rome Odunze!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Welcome!!!!!!!!!! BEAR FAN4LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude’s dope. Didn’t know he played soccer. That’s why that footwork so clean. Wait til u see that in the NFL.
Comes from a good family. This is what happens when you raise young men right. They become good men!

Don’t disrespect Nabers like that ‘LSU slot’. Rome is a beast but there’s a reason why Nabers was viewed as a dude not too far behind MHJ
Great interview! Rome is amazing now I can clearly see why Bears GM Ryan Poles drafted him and Caleb with conviction‼️
My boy Rome!!! Yes sir!!!! Go Dawgs!!
Awesome that you guys had him on the show!

We got a great one. Only 21 and wise beyond his years
Great interview! He spoke really well. Seems like a such great person. Congrats on being drafted! Looking forward to watching you in Sunday.

Ne actually does have the talent of those two. I stay away from the term freakish though. They are athletically talented people not freaks.
@@Peezy71421 I didn’t call them freaks. I said they have “freakish talent.” Big difference.

Kid is humble and a incredible human

Good prediction brother bear down ❤️❤️🫶🏼🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
Was a fan before, bigger fan after this interview. Great interview and he’s my favorite receiver in this draft fr.
ROME speaks very well he is an intelligent man I hope the Jets get him.

If I was a GM, I would take this guy if we needed a receiver or not. He is already a professional! Much luck Rom.
This kid is aware, confident ready to learn. Great attitude. WTG Pivot!
when it's all said and done, he's gonna be considered the best of this draft
The pivots the best football podcast
We'll Take Him !!! GO BLUE 〽️&⚡️'ers!!!!

I am so happy he’s a Bear 🥹
Audition went well LoL
We got it done!!
It’s done and couldn’t be happier!

Favorite player is Hester?! Aw thats automatic to the bears
And he studies Keenan Allan.
If he is here with Keenan and DJ... MAN ITS GOING DOWWWWWNNNN!!!
Awesome interview
This might be my fav episode. This makes me as a chargers fan want Rome to be with us
Imagine Herbert having this guy as a target. 🔥🔥🔥
I'm with you. I liked Malik Nabors, but this guy has it buttoned up. And what a work ethic! He's big and strong, and will give it his all.
He is an Igbo Nigerian both in physical and in powerful mind.
