It may never be needed, or allowed, but Rome Odunze wants to channel one of his idols if he can.
All signs pointed to Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze having a breakout second season, and through seven games, he's on that track with 31 catches for 473 yards and five touchdowns. That's a 17-game pace of 75 catches for 1,149 yards and 12 touchdowns, and if not for having a touchdown wiped out by a penalty and a few plays he has not quite been able to make, his numbers would be even better.
