NFL Trade Rumors
Bears WR Rome Odunze is ready for whatever HC Ben Johnson throws at him next season, even if that means throwing passes to QB Caleb Williams.
“Whatever he needs me to do in the offense, I’m going to get it done. If that’s warming my arm up, have Caleb go run routes in the offseason, I might have to do that, just to practice,” Odunze said, via PFT.
Packers DC Jeff Hafley recalled when DE Brenton Cox Jr. came into his own and started making a name for himself as someone who deserved to be on the field.
“All of a sudden, it’s like ‘Whoa, they had a tough time blocking him today,’ and the conversation becomes this guy has earned the right to play,” Hafley said, via the team’s website. “That’s our job, right? To play the guys who are improving and show us they’re getting better and bought in and help us win games.”
Cox explained what propelled him to the next and said that he’ll continue to refine his game this offseason.
“Mostly just me growing within the game, knowing the game speed and everything,” Cox said after the season. “What it takes to really beat a great offensive tackle. I’m going to work on that in the offseason, just keep it going and hopefully don’t get too high, don’t get too low.”
Cox added that he hopes to make a bigger impact and work into the team’s pass-rush rotation next season.
