"Chicago drafted him for size and vertical ability, but he's become a complete weapon. Through the 2025 season: 600 receiving yards (19th of 85 WRs) 6 receiving TDs (tied for 5th) 15.4 yards per catch (13th) PFF receiving grade: 74.9, overall 73.2 Odunze is winning on deep posts, back-shoulder throws, and in the red zone. With top-20 volume in targets and pass snaps, he's not just flashing potential - he's functioning like a true WR1playmaker in a developing Bears offense."
"Tampa has thrown him straight into a featured role, and he has responded with top-10 production among all receivers, not just first-year players: Egbuka combines clean routes with real explosiveness after the catch (5.4 YAC per reception). His 343 routes run (14th) and 371 pass snaps (13th) show the Bucs view him as a centerpiece already. This is the kind of rookie season that usually launches a Pro Bowl run in year two."
The 2025 NFL season features a wave of emerging playmakers who are forcing themselves into feature roles. Rome Odunze has developed into a complete WR1-caliber weapon with 600 receiving yards, six touchdowns, a 15.4 yards-per-catch average, and strong PFF grades; he wins on deep posts, back-shoulder throws, and in the red zone while receiving top-20 volume. Rookie Emeka Egbuka has been thrust into a featured role, delivering top-10 production, 5.4 YAC per reception, 343 routes run and 371 pass snaps. Rookie edge Donovan Ezeiruaku has injected pass-rush juice and posted a 79.7 overall PFF grade.
