This kid is going to Rome the North for years

[@NikoBolokov]

Chicago got 2 professional, humble, impact players

[@alexamerling79]

I love that Rome is going to get to learn from Keenan and DJ. Imagine how good he will be in a two years! BEAR DOWN!

[@austinmartinez2312]

Two years?! He's lining up at the slot 😂

[@alexamerling79]

@@austinmartinez2312 No I know that. I mean he will be good right away but imagine him after spending a year learning from Keenan is what I'm getting at.

Especially from Keenan!!! Learning that slot position is gonna be key for him and his skill set

His first punt return for a TD is gonna hit like CRACK

he won’t be returning punts dude🤣🤣🤣

[@tedellis8571]

Rome WAS built in a day! Welcome to Chicago

[@fixindan3592]

Wow! This young man is very eloquent, and has a quick mind. I was a nervous wreck in interviews when I was 21, much less being able to given coherent and thoughtful answers on the fly in front of media members. Hearing him talk is like hearing a well-seasoned coach or GM talk. I can definitely see him in a broadcast booth or on TV someday if he wants to pursue that after he’s done playing, and I can definitely see why people rave about his character.

[@TheBillykiller]

I was 100% thinking the same thing. His answers to these questions were all remarkable

[@cheeeebz]

We knew we were taking Caleb but ROME is an absolute steal at 9! Top 5 talent let’s go these young men are going to tear the north up!!

[@IamPlank1920]

Rome Odunze...its just fun to say. He's going to be star in the NFL. BEAR DOWN!

[@garyhughes2382]

Dynamic player. Seems Mature and Humble. Love the Pick!

[@abeycr]

Well spoken Caleb and Rome. Cool, calm, and collective. That's the way the Young Generation should be poised. However, the city of Chicago just gained another fan. I will be getting NFL Sunday Ticket for the very first time. The Chicago Bears, Monsters of the Midway 2nd To None.

[@ig7564]

Bears are smart, now they can pay Keenan a short term deal to stay after this year and line it up with Rome’s rookie contract. Big 3 in Chicago for a while

[@BearsNCigars]

This wr corp is gonna be crazy.. I just hope the coaches can get most of this talent on this team…

How about we start with just one game at a time...

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Rome is special kid wants to be great, humble all day long. It is going to be an amazing 10 to 15 years with highlights galore and lots of records soon to fall :). Kid has HOF talent same as our new QB

Can just hear myself every he scores "when in rome!" 🗣🗣🗣🗣

A great job seems very smart invested and focused and humbled young man. Welcome to Chicago BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈 Exciting times

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

This kid has a great head on his shoulders. He's going to be generational!

[@bstraw53]

As big of a fan as this kids skill set as I am, I’m even more impressed with his intelligence. Every word is intentional.

[@cameronpoupard9966]

Mah baby boy 🥲 so blessed we got him 🙏

[@JesusPerez-ue5we]

Love that he is well spoken and comes off as very educated. I think the bears are staying true to what they preached, bringing in high character players who happen to excel at thier position. Builing from the inside out.

[@Harrism1776]

He’s in a great spot very little pressure in year 1 where most guys picked 9th are expected to be fantastic and WR1 for their team and he’s WR3 😂

[@ChrisJackle]

He is one at the receiver position which is gonna be the reason why he’s able to make plays his rookie season

[@MsMickeygal]

Welcome aboard Rome ❤

[@eamonmcmahon6659]

The media has got to love this kid. Impressive work in this interview. Smart and polished and truly professional. And he’s got a game that backs it up. WR position is often stereotyped as cocky and arrogant self-centered divas who tend toward putting their stats before the team’s goals. I’m getting none of that from him. Just the opposite. This is going to be a lot of fun to watch this team.

[@darkrider962]

Good luck with having Shane Waldron as your Offensive Coordinator! He was extremely flawed coming from a Seahawks fan, and barely gave JSN the ball ever last season. Hope the same doesn't happen to Odunze. Just as a heads up, Waldron is especially terrible at making half-time adjustments.

No, there was a question at the combine on if he could land a plane in an emergency and he said absolutely not, and then when he flew w Caleb to draft, he promised he would get Caleb there safely, implying he was flying
