Ninth pick in the draft from Washington has already begun catching passes from Williams and fits as a third wide receiver threat.
The Bears continued fortifying their passing attack by selecting Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze with the ninth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft
William now will have Odunze, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen to chase passes in a supercharged aerial attack. Williams and Odunze struck up a predraft friendship and were actually throwing passes together earlier in the week with Moore and Allen, so apparently they had an inkling this pick would come down. Theplayed each other the last two years in the PAC-12.
The Bears benefited from the Los Angeles Chargers taking tackle Joe Alt, meaning one of the three top wide receivers might be available to them. LSU's Malik Nabers had been taken by the Giants at No. 6.
