Rome Odunze's father ripped Dan Orlovsky's 'nonsense' breakdown of the Bears' rookie wideout

Through two games to start his NFL career, Chicago Bears rookie first-round pick Rome Odunze has been underwhelming.

The receiver has just three catches for 44 yards on nine targets so far. While it wouldn't be a stretch to say Odunze is still adjusting to football at the NFL level, it'd probably be hyperbolic to say he's not getting open at all. He's a rookie and is developing like any other young player. This is especially true when most of the Bears' offensive issues stem from their poor blocking up front so far -- not because any receivers aren't getting open.

Someone didn't pass along this memo to ESPN's Dan Orlovsky, who claimed Odunze "wasn't getting open at this level" earlier this week:

This unfair critique opened the door to the worst possible person for Orlovsky to defend his opinion against -- Odunze's father, James.

First, Odunze's father posted a video of his son getting clear separation in the end zone during the Bears' Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans:

When people began misconstruing James Odunze's intention with the video -- with some assuming this might have been taking a similarly struggling Caleb Williams to task -- the senior Odunze put all that talk to rest, clarifying that he wanted to blast Orlovsky's "nonsense" opinion, not Odunze's quarterback.

This is a good lesson for Orlovsky and any major national analyst. If you critique a player with an unfounded opinion, you'll probably have to answer to their parents. And that's something no one should want to do.
