Rome Odunze NFL Draft, Micahel Penix Jr, his Nigerian Roots & work ethic from farming | The Pivot

[@mark11967AD]

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. 🐻

[@jacobalmquist5011]

Ngl. I understand you giving praise to his parents. But yeah, shut up. 👍🏾

[@Divan108]

Well spoken for a young man. Compared to other draft interviews, he is a man amongst boys.

[@TBird5790]

This young man has it all together. Head on straight. Articulate. Respectful. A breath of fresh air.

[@happyface3937]

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!

[@delshawnstaten7309]

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

[@justinmajewski2759]

You are smart

[@davecolvin310]

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.

[@NorthAreUp]

Out of all the top 3 WRs. I think Romes character is the best out of them all

[@NikkiDickson-ui9ix]

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!

Aye I was born in the 90’s and didn’t realize how cold he truly was. Most definitely should be a HOF

[@andrewthebestthomas]

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.

[@okstever]

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.

[@ChrisSwan-zd6ty]

Devin will be asking Rone for his autograph! Rome is going to be GREAT!

[@Evilishu]

Just want to say, this series is by far the best on KZbin 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.

[@gdwest5308]

Great interview! Rome is amazing now I can clearly see why Bears GM Ryan Poles drafted him and Caleb with conviction‼️

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!

[@danielgarey6065]

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!

[@crazzybreezy3571]

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@StueyJenkins]

The discipline that he and Caleb possess is going to be the biggest blessing to Bears fans. These kids are different

Rookie of the year ...let's gooo Rome

[@OrlandoS1111]

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!!!

[@JordanJournies]

We got a great one. Only 21 and wise beyond his years

[@ParisLondonRoma]

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.

[@roshan2865]

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

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.

[@benmorgan9748]

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.

[@Peezy71421]

Ne actually does have the talent of those two. I stay away from the term freakish though. They are athletically talented people not freaks.
