Bears rookie agrees with DJ Moore's comment about the receiver corps being in a race to 1,000 yards, and describes what he'll need to do to adjust to a different game.
Wide receiver DJ Moore had told Up and Adams' Kay Adams that it will be a race to see whether himself, Keenan Allen or Odunze can hit 1,000 y ards first.
The smart money won't be on Odunze even if he is coming into the league with quarterback Caleb Williams and the two have a good QB-receiver relationship already going. Between Allen and Moore, there are 1,364 catche, 17,095 yards and 87 touchdowns. Allen has been a Pro Bowl player six times. Odunze definitely isn't getting ahead of himself. He's assuming nothing about being able to beat NFL coverage. He hasn't faced league-quality defensive back yet and admits it.
Numerous NFL receivers have said the defensive backs in college are allowed to be more physical than in the NFL, though, and from what Odunze has seen on film that might be the case.
