Keenan Allen Shares His Views on Rome Odunze
The Chicago Bears were a team to watch closely during the offseason, drawing significant attention with their moves and ambitions.
Finishing the 2023 season with a 7-10 record, the Bears are optimistic about further improvement in the upcoming year. Leading their charge is Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall draft pick and Heisman-winning quarterback, who is set to take over as the starting QB.
Williams isn't the only new addition aiming to boost the team's performance. General Manager Ryan Poles made significant upgrades to the wide receiver corps by drafting All-American Rome Odunze and trading for six-time Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen. These new additions complement the existing talent of multi-time 1,000-yard receiver D.J. Moore.
Keenan Allen recently shared his observations about Odunze with the Chicago media. "Rome looks greatHe's running around pretty goodHe knows what he's doingThat's huge," Allen remarked.
Despite turning 32 earlier this offseason, Allen continues to defy age expectations. During his tenure with the Chargers from 2013 to 2023, he amassed five seasons with over 100 catches and six seasons with more than 1,000 receiving yards. His experience will be invaluable to the Bears' offense.
Veteran receiver D.J. Moore has also demonstrated consistent high performance, surpassing 1,100 receiving yards in four of his six NFL seasons. Together with Odunze, who is coming off consecutive 1,000-yard seasons at Washington and was considered one of the top receivers in college football last year, the Bears' aerial attack looks poised to be particularly potent this season.
