"Kudos to the Chicago Bears for continuing to make their NFL schedule release videos fun to watch. I cannot imagine that it is easy to produce under the pressure of knowing that the league's schedule release video drop date is essentially a social media team's version of the Super Bowl. But I suppose having a playmaker like Rome Odunze willing to play a role and lend a hand helps."
"Odunze was the star of the Bob Ross-inspired video that announced the team's schedule for the upcoming season. Ross was a Florida-born painter and television personality who hosted a painting show that offered breakdowns of painting techniques, making them easy and digestible. And while Ross passed away in 1995, his legacy has endured for more than three decades. That is pretty impressive."
"Rome Odunze, channeling his inner artist en route to transforming into Bob Ross for the team's schedule release video, is one of the most fun things to come out of Thursday's drop. And now that we're done with schedule-release shenanigans, I'm holding out hope that Odunze will become an elite route-running artist as he enters Year 3 in Chicago."
"A first-round pick in 2024, Odunze has had some quality moments since joining the Bears. The University of Washington product has made an instant connection with quarterback Caleb Williams. Tight end Colston Loveland, fellow receiver Luther Burden III, and others have also built bonds with Chicago's QB1. But Rome Odunze and Caleb Williams have the kind of connection that has the potential to transcend."
The Chicago Bears released a schedule announcement video featuring Rome Odunze as a Bob Ross-inspired character. The video was presented as a fun production despite the pressure of a major social media moment tied to the NFL schedule release. Bob Ross, a Florida-born painter and television personality, hosted a painting show that made techniques easy to understand, and his legacy has continued long after his 1995 death. Behind-the-scenes content and bloopers were shared through the Bears’ official website and YouTube channel. Odunze is positioned for a potentially career-altering year in 2026 as he enters his third season in Chicago, with expectations that his connection with quarterback Caleb Williams could grow further.
