- Rome Odunze hasn't become the star Chicago believed he could be when taking him #9 overall. While that has been frustrating, the WR is transforming into something else. Something #Bears opponents are quickly learning to fear.

- Oct 11 Erik Lambert (X) Rome Odunze has all the talent in the world. What he doesn't have is the ability to play with any consistency. That was never clearer than his error-filled performance in Green Bay. If his extension hopes were dimming before, they're dead now. #Bears
