Second-best breakout candidate; elite route tree fits Ben Johnson's system and Caleb Williams' arm.
Matt Harmon ranks Rome Odunze as the second most likely candidate (after Chris Olave) to produce a JSN or George Pickens-type breakout season. Harmon is a big Odunze fan and believes he could 'go bonkers' as Chicago's number one receiver. Odunze has a traditional route tree with vertical routes, big in-breakers, and intermediate/short area work that fits well with Ben Johnson's offense and Caleb Williams' arm talent. Harmon has more faith in the Chicago ecosystem than Carolina's for Terrace Marshall. Harmon slightly prefers Odunze to Luther Burden in the Chicago receiver hierarchy, though he emphasizes he is 'very much in on Luther Burden as well.' Regarding injury concerns: Odunze's foot injury comment ('this is my new normal') was overblown by Twitter discourse; he is practicing in full by all accounts and his head coach says 'Looks like the same old Rome to me,' indicating no material concern. Target competition from DJ Moore and Colson Loveland complicates his path to true number one receiver status, but Harmon views the upside as significant.
