Bears fans are losing it over this Caleb Williams-Rome Odunze touchdown
The Chicago Bears appear to have something special in rookies Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, who continue to put on a show in training camp. The first-round picks have developed an easy rapport that has been on display this summer, and it's hard not to get excited about their potential.
Tuesday's practice provided the latest example of Chicago's bright future when the rookie duo connected on a 30-yard touchdown during a two-minute drill to end practice. The defense jumped, giving the offense a free play, and Williams didn't hesitate to go deep to Odunze, who put cornerback Terrell Smith on skates with his route and to break free for the easy score.

Rome Odunze is a route running technician.
Everything he does is silky smooth, reminded me a lot of a bigger Chris Olave coming out 🔥pic.twitter.com/wJS2NZ2gEu— Snoog’s Dynasty Society (@FFSnoog) August 13, 2024
