In the span of a year, Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has gone from trying to build chemistry with quarterback Caleb Williams to becoming his favorite target.
The development is a positive one, so long as Williams’ comfort with his fellow 2024 first-round draft pick doesn’t become a crutch. That’s what it looked like last Sunday in Baltimore, when Williams zeroed in on Odunze as he ran an in-breaking route in the fourth quarter. Cornerback Nate Wiggins was draped all over Odunze, and a safety tracked him from behind. Williams threw the ball anyway, and it was intercepted by Wiggins to bury the Bears in their 30-16 loss.
