The pride of the Huskies has a lot of talent to bring to the table, along with an impressive physique that sets him apart. Additionally, he’s termed to be an overall top-10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, which seems promising for the youngster.

Rome Odunze, the wide receiver for the Washington Huskies, has been a knight in shining armor for the team back in the 2023 season. He covered over 1,640 yards and finished a staggering number of 13 touchdowns to make it to the top spot in the country as a WR. Moreover, his phenomenal performance propelled the Huskies to the natty game, which the Michigan Wolverines unfortunately conquered. Now, as he prepares to step foot in the Draft, here are the hosts of a popular fantasy sports podcast expressing their opinions on the might and mettle of Rome Odunze.

Rome Odunze’s eye-catching physique puts him higher than any other WR

On the latest episode of the ‘Underdog Football Show’, both hosts Josh Norris and Hayden Winks took to the mic to discuss the ongoing Draft speculations. Later, they focused the segment on the specialty of Rome Odunze and immediately highlighted his impressive build.

Winks started by saying, “I saw him on the plane to Vegas for the Super Bowl and his upper body is so jacked and that’s super impressive.” Norris followed it up with, “Rome Odunze is broad. He is a large upper-body dude which it plays into winning these tough 50/50 balls. I also read that he’s a pain in the ass to tackle after he catches. He’s not completely lighted up like Malik Nabers.” Thus, it is evident that Odunze is a better receiver because of his massive proportions, despite it being such an unheard combination when it comes to WRs since they’re usually meant to be a lot lighter and agile. Furthermore, his physical traits will ensure a bright future in the NFL according to the former Huskies’ coach, JaMarcus Shephard.

“He will be eating New York”: former coach Shephard speaks up on Odunze’s NFL future

Back in January of 2022, JaMarcus Shephard joined the Huskies. Currently, he is the WR coach for the Alabama Crimson Tide but under his mentorship, Odunze flourished back in his first season. During Shephard’s run, Odunze earned the first-team All-Pac-12 honors and led the team with 1,145 yards, on 75 receptions. Thus, it makes sense that Shephard has a few words to say about the team that could be a good fit for his prized player.
