Best part of us drafting Rome is that we don't have to rush him into that wr1 role right away. He gets to learn from Keenan and DJ and eventually take over as wr1

[@s6xafterse7en]

Briggs! One of my favorite Bears LBs ever!

[@MrMikey2You]

I remember in high school Lance Briggs came and did a workout with our team. Brother Rice HS it was a crazy dope experience

[@AG1980sBaby]

I'll take an AZ summer over a summer in the south that humidity is worse than the dry heat

[@chriscavanaugh4575]

I saw Odunze several games last year. And the guy that he reminded me of was Terell Owens without the crazy!

[@ericp.7550]

Funny thing is a read a article earlier, and it shows that their measurements and statistics are almost identical.

[@user-pu1dw6xg3k]

Love Lance Briggs and his expertise, plus that attitude is all 🐻

Ray Guy was a 1st rounder

i forgot about him he was half of raiders offence lol

He was over drafted

[@ttaylor758]

Guy was ahead of his time. Damn good athlete as well

[@Mach11976]

I was lucky enough to see Ray Guy warm up and punt against the Bears many years ago. Also I went to 3 Hawkeye games this last year, this guy can punt and is going to surprise the shit out of you.

[@tegridygone6185]

everytime we get a defensive player to jump for a free play just throw it up for Odunze

[@user-nl9ho1lr5i]

Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs play together nine years Lance Briggs head to better stats in five of those years he needs to be in the Hall of Fame

[@michaelmanwiller1869]

I totally agree with your assessment. Briggs and Urlacher should have gone in together. They were synonymous with Bears Defense.

[@rbickham805]

1. Todd Sauerbrun was a 2nd round pick for our beloved home team (56 overall) in '95. 2. Odunze is a clone of a young Mike Evans...

[@ttaylor758]

Evans is closer to Johnson as an athlete than Odunze is compared to Evans. Really good prospect though

[@larrypound5247]

Just think Rome is faster

[@rbickham805]

People forget how fast and agile Mike Evans was coming out of A & M. Only time has slowed him down and he put on a little weight. But, that's basically Rome. Just check the film

[@tohdub246]

It's been 90s lol love u Briggs

[@wentzr]

So funny i associate Lance Briggs with high heat.. He used to host a football camp out here in Northern California for the high school kids, i went to one with my nephew, was a record hot day at like 100 in the shade. Was a good time i met Tim Jennings and a few bears players

[@jeffreystebel]

The Bears drafted Todd Sauerbrun in the 2nd Rd. In 1995 at pick 56. He played 15 years in the NFL, 2 time All Pro, 3 time Pro Bowler.

[@chriscavanaugh4575]

The Bears actually tried to teach him how to punt. And he sucked till he left Chicago.

[@TheOC2334]

But couldn’t even make that playoffs that year

[@user-bi8wq5jg8l]

Hey Pat Please get a preshow message to Lance to cool it with the snot swallowing and get one good one just before you go on air and after you go off air

[@Collin_Calling]

Ray guy, magical punter, drafted 23rd overall by the Raiders in 1973. Tory Taylor is the latest player to win the Ray Guy Award for the best punter in college football in 2023-2024. Drafted #122 by Da Bears.

[@mcfact1827]

@16:31... California is not the "show me state*.... it's Missouri

[@briandilling7469]

Players taken low as udfa like players poles picked up. Could surprise the league. A diamond in the rough. Given time and polish they will become great in the future

[@johndavila5096]

The sky's the limit. If Rome is half of what we hope he'll be being a 3rd option will still give him a chance to shine. That would equal zero double teams for any receiver.

[@michaelmanwiller1869]

Like DJ said it'll be a race to 1000 yards. Imagine this for a second, 3 Bears recievers with 1000 yards! 4 if you throw in DeAndre Swift and Caleb throws for 4000 + yards and 35 TD's. Can you say "PLAYOFFS".

[@Moski1964]

Funny thing is if Marvin and Rome were both available at 9 we woulda taken Marvin 100% lol. Let’s calm down

Pat and Lance, you DO realize that Caleb’s got one of IF NOT the QUICKEST releases right? Our O Line will be just fine.

[@briandilling7469]

Obviously Poles has his reasoning for drafting that punter. And honestly his tape is pretty awesome

[@tgmittler]

Bears punters Chris Gardocki 3rd rd. 1991. Todd Saurbrun 2nd rd. 1995. Tory is “only” drafted in 4th round. Also. Brad Maynard was drafted by the Giants in the 3rd in 1997 and later signed by Chicago in 2000.

[@brenttollakson2366]

I personally really have been a loyal lifetime lifelong CHICAGO BEARS SUPPORTER/fan since 1972 was only six years old. ROME ODONZE, WAS BE KNOWN AS A HIGH SCHOOL SPINTER ACCORDING BY. MARK HARMON.

1995 Chicago Bears picked Todd Sauerbrun in the second round.

[@danielcarroll3ify]

Todd Sauerbrun was 2nd rounder, gardocki in the 3rd.

[@chiefgangmusic]

You can’t compare the Mich game to the NFL bc against Mich he was the #1 on the scouting report. Wash had decent receivers but no where near level of talent that the Bears have so hopefully he’ll feast all season.

[@lootboxhero1738]

Ray Guy was selected 23rd overall

[@ecobean3440]

Is wondering...With Tramaine Edmunds length, strength, and athletism could he play on the defensive line as an edge or DT? Noah Sewell is a better linebacker than Edmunds and he has to play more next season.

[@jasondefina9243]

Missouri is the show me state lol

[@powerfist80]

Y’all better cook.

[@JLEffizy]

Chicago already has two bona fide number one receivers. He isn’t going to outshine Marvin in the near future

[@matteowatteo1296]

Bears had better roster a solid and experienced backup QB. They are one Caleb Williams injury away from having to shelve their entire season as well as the seasons of their stellar WR's.

[@AG1980sBaby]

Briggs u just eat that boogie?

[@bornajee9035]

Eureka! I'm a fan of Lance but Missouri is the real "Show Me State"...but it's all good.

[@ChiLouis69]

I love Lance but Missouri is the only show me state. We stand by that. Don't tell me nothing. SHOW ME.

[@steveajster1935]

I feel Rome is gonna benefit from this dangerous WR group, more so in the first half. Once teams start realizing what a threat Rome is he may get the double teams. Either way, I agree teams will need to pick their poison, BFD baby!

[@princealexander6155]

Pick your poison. Double team Rome, let DJ and Keenan score. Revert back, Rome scores. Flood the secondary with a LB to help? Kmet, Everett, swift hit you there.

[@EmmanuelVargas-hv4hw]

He could be like a Julio Jones

[@346rt]

You draft em where you know you can get him. Alex was an assassin. Btw with the exception of Sanborn, i don’t see too many guys on Flu’s defense able to drop guys where they hit em. Most get dragged a few yards often. So maybe we needed another linebacker. So maybe you’re right.

That’s called the modern NFL you aren’t allowed to hit
