The hype train is in full throttle for the Chicago Bears. PFF has made no bones about the fact that they have loved everything about the Chicago Bears offseason.
It's only June, but the hype that's building around the Chicago Bears is already palpable. Yes, many times over the last decade, the Bears have been built up to be a playoff team only to come out and fall flat on their faces, but these Bears are not your father's Bears.
The Chicago Bears are hoping that new first-year head coach Ben Johnson can help elevate their team from the cellar of the NFC North and back into NFL Playoff contention.
How many of the active NFL players who have rushed for 1,000 or more yards in a season can you name in five minutes?
The Chicago Bears are starting a new chapter, as they now have former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as head coach. Given his previous job, Johnson is looking to take Chicago’s attack to the next level, and if he is to do so in 2025, wide receiver Rome Odunze should be a big part of it.
Expectations for the Chicago Bears' offense in 2025 are high... very, very high. It's what happens when Ben Johnson is hired as head coach, and he will pair with Caleb Williams in what should be a marriage that produces fireworks on offense.
The 2024 season didn't play out as the Bears hoped it would, but there could be some silver linings to their 5-12 season. One of them would be the experience that young players like wide receiver Rome Odunze gained while going through the year.
Bears WR Rome Odunze didn’t have a stellar rookie campaign with just 54 receptions for 734 yards and three touchdowns. Chicago HC Ben Johnson said Odunze has been heavily involved in their offseason program and looks “very much like a seasoned pro.” “To be a second-year guy, you would expect a little bit more inconsistency,” Johnson said, via PFT.
Rome Odunze disappointed those with highest expectations last season, particularly the fantasy football sect who anticipate 1,000-yard seasons and 100 catches from every first-round rookie pass catcher.
The Chicago Bears are hoping for bigger and better things for Rome Odunze under head coach Ben Johnson in 2025. The No. 9 pick in the 2024 draft had a solid rookie campaign, recording 54 receptions for 734 yards, and three touchdowns.
While quarterback Caleb Williams got all the spotlight, the Chicago Bears also used a top 10 pick on wide receiver Rome Odunze. But his similarities to Williams don’t stop there, as Odunze struggled to find his ceiling as a rookie.
“Chicago is where wide receivers go to die.” Few, if any quotes about a single NFL position group from a single NFL franchise have withstood the test of time as well as Mushin Muhammad’s classic gut-punch.
Former All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver and return specialist Devin Duvernay signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears back in March. The former third-round pick spent his first three seasons in Jacksonville and spent the 2024 season with Baltimore.
For the Chicago Bears' offense to reach its maximum upside in 2025, second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze must make good on his first-round pedigree and break out as one of the team's most dangerous offensive weapons.
When Ben Johnson was hired as head coach, everyone involved with the Chicago Bears were expecting massive changes. Perhaps no group more than Chicago’s wide receivers, who understand the massive expectations coming with Johnson.
Can you name the last wide receiver every NFL team selected in the first round of the NFL Draft?
Last week, beat reporters suggested that Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had an up-and-down practice session during the first practice that was open to the media for OTAs.
Even though organized team activities just started this week for the Chicago Bears, returning players have been in the building working with the new staff for weeks.
Caleb Williams now has another big-time target to work with. The Chicago Bears selected wide receiver Luther Burden III from Missouri with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Chicago Bears found themselves a star in the making during the 2024 season in rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze. Playing as the #3 wide receiver in the offense that saw a lot of turmoil while working behind two veteran receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, Odunze still managed to post 700+ yards and three touchdowns during his rookie campaign.
When appearing on Deebo Samuel’s Cleats & Convos podcast, Bears WR Rome Odunze said he is ecstatic about HC Ben Johnson‘s arrival in Chicago. “I think Ben is a tremendous coach and play-caller.
Bears rookie WR Rome Odunze has made some mistakes his rookie season and fell short of his goals, but is overall happy with the progress he’s made thus far.
Whether you’re on the road to your next fantasy championship or looking to get back on track, steer clear of these NFL players for Week 2.
After painfully slow starts to the 2024 NFL season, these wide receivers rewarded fantasy managers with big games in Week 3. We think they can do it again in Week 4.
Coach Matt Eberflus said the Bears were “lucky” to avoid a serious injury.
Odunze was the No. 9 overall pick in the NFL Draft. He had some lofty ambitions for his rookie season, but they might already be out of reach.
