agreed, came into watching Penix thinking he was that dude, then I realized that Odunze and Polk were the real heroes. Give Penix credit for having the balls to give his guys a shot, but what looks like a good back shoulder throw from Penix a lot of the time was really just Odunze's physicality allowing him to box out defenders while tracking the ball in the air, then making a late-second adjustment. Penix isn't bad but he was definitely not the real reason Washington made the Natty.
Man you can tell Penix trusted Odunze with his life lol, he was slanging that shit in his general direction without looking or just staring him down a lot. Odunze rewarded him in kind more often than not and even caught multiple passes that would've been interceptions otherwise. And I don't think this counts all the targets that resulted in DPI either.
Theres reason why panic isn't a top five pick in the draft lol Rome rounds was. This video showed how bad panic was and should've had thirty hints if wasn't for Rome saving his ass lol
Penix and Jayden Daniels both had 2 elite WRs in college football. 3 will go in round 1 and Washington's #2 will be taken in the 2nd round. Hence, why I prefer Caleb, Drake and Bo Nix as the sleeper.
he just does not get as much separation as you want from your number 1 WR in the NFL imo. his release is really underwhelming to put it lightly...he just doesn't win at the line of scrimmage vs press. damn near all of his catches vs press man situations were contested, never catches that happened after he created separation by setting the DB up with his release and then running a sharp route. now with that being said, his hands are in.cred.a.ble. ...like i mean a truly phenomenal contested catcher. whether its a 50/50 jump ball or he's getting hit right after the catch, he's bringing it in 8/10 times, which will (clearly) make up for lack of separation at times. my concern would just be will he disappear sometimes in the NFL when going against defenses that challenge his ability to separate vs press situations, specifically against press man and tbh, there's other WRs in this class that i just don't have that concern with at all. cannot put him lower than WR4 as there's simply not 4 WRs better to me but i do think he is a clear tier below MHJ & Nabers. just my humble opinion and just what i saw...dont come at me too hard y'all lol. excited to see where he goes tho, could be a good weapon for a team. hopefully he proves my concerns to be nonsense.
@@steelermike5219who cares what Caleb does outside of football? He’s not hurting anybody and I guarantee he doesn’t care what closed minded people like you think. Can he play football at a high level? That’s all I care about. I have never seen a fan base be so against an amazing prospect.
@@RB-.- you don’t have to be left alone wide open to be open in the NFL. He is 6’3 with 39 inches vertical. Is one yard of separation is equivalent to Malik nabers 5 yards because of is height, body, and vertical. The ball just needs to be thrown with more arch. Look at Caleb Williams passes and compare it to penix
Its so rare that he gets open unless its a defensive bust or he's being schemed open on a screen or dig. He's lucky he's a contested catch monster because NFL DBs have potential to eat him alive.
I agree I see a guy who struggles getting separation and brings almost nothing to the table after the catch. Also the amount of times he fumbles for a wr is scary.
You realize what makes QJ awful is he's a big body and he's a body catcher. This is what happened with Chase Claypool. Rome is a monster contested catch threat. So you've literally flipped a weakness to the biggest strength any receiver has in the draft alongside Nabers YAC
Im gonna go on a limb and say hes at best a #2 wr in the NFL. I dont see enough speed or separation. seems more of a contested catch possession wr. I think he should be drafted in 2nd - 3rd realistically. Keon Coleman is similar player who runs a 4.6 and i see Coleman with more separation and hes borderline 1st rd guy who prob is better place in rd 2. I would draft Nabers, Harrison, Thomas, and Leggette over Odunze in a second
I mean speed and separation don’t always translate in the nfl, all receivers need to be physical and be able to win contested situations. Plenty of receivers who run in the 4.4s and 4.5s that are wr1 on nfl teams. I’d argue that many teams would rather have a receiver who can get decent separation, but has amazing hands over a more explosive receiver that doesn’t have great ability to fight through contact.
@@pauliej345 that's fair, in my opinion I think he separated pretty well, but it doesn't always look pretty since penix was not consistently accurate with the ball. For example he often had to come back to the ball into a contested catch since it was underthrown. Looking at his separation numbers, he has really high success rates against both man and zone. He definitely doesn't have elite acceleration, but his long speed is underrated and he definitely gets open consistently if there's enough time
As a bears fan odunze has better release and route running than alshon ever did. I'd say alshon is a better jump ball reciever that rome. Even though rome is a great jump ball reciever himself. He's more of a mix of davante adams and allen robinson.
The bears should have drafted Xavier Legette. They could have traded down and got more picks. Rome has no after the catch talent. He's blase. I'm not impressed for a second. Good dude, but nah. He'll never be a 1.
Bro you are a good person for doing this
For real, I'm only disappointed I found this after the first two days of draft. Lol
I will subscribe to use this for next draft tho.
Brother you dont know how much you helping us football stans out with this brother youre goateddddd
As much as I love Nabers i definitely see why Odunze #2 WR on a lot of boards😂
This man unguardable
So happy for these videos 🔥🔥🔥
Odunze is legit
Welcome to Chicago! BEAR DOWN!
DAAAA BEARS!
Odunze is going to FEAST in the league
As a bears fan I’m so excited
THANK YOU!!!!
Not impressed by Penix tbh. looking at this video, you can tell who’s really doing all the work

@@DoTheAstralPlaneyou gotta watch him at Indiana then.
Watch the Sugar Bowl again.
Odunze is unstoppable if he’s 1 on 1 in the red zone….reminds me of Davante Adams
Except he's bigger.
Great content!!
How does this dude not have more subscribers? You’re goated bro
The more and more I watch I think I might have Odunze over Nabers
20:03 with how many near-interceptions Odunze prevented, he could've been DB1 in the class in another lifetime lol
Man you can tell Penix trusted Odunze with his life lol, he was slanging that shit in his general direction without looking or just staring him down a lot. Odunze rewarded him in kind more often than not and even caught multiple passes that would've been interceptions otherwise. And I don't think this counts all the targets that resulted in DPI either.
Stop it. Odunze was a nobody before Penix
@TheSystem0 and Josh Allen gone to him to the top Go Bills!
Bro. Odunze was catching so many bad throws. It’s insane.
Theres reason why panic isn't a top five pick in the draft lol Rome rounds was. This video showed how bad panic was and should've had thirty hints if wasn't for Rome saving his ass lol
@@katiecaddle209 What are you talking about? Penix got drafted before Rome.
Odunze is a lock hall of famer

The more I watch him the more I want him on giants
same i think he's better then Nabers IMO similar 40 times but with a bigger frame 6'3 212
Can you do one for Ja’Lynn Polk please??

These comments are so unbelievably split and that’s how everyone seems to be with him….
He’s my WR2 I think he does all the little things right
Like getting "little" separation 😂
You can pencil him in for a 1,000 yards and 10 TD's a year in the pros.
The time empire coming to chi town to pair up with Caleb williams it’s been confirmed by bears staff
Yeah maybe they can paint there nails and wear dresses together while going to a diddy party

@@brandonjohnson3558 that guy who said that is a steeler fan.. more and more bears fans are coming to the caleb side 💯
You literally have a bust in Russell Wilson as your QB lol we saw how shitty he was for Denver and Denver had top talent around him lol
I like Odunze but i hope Nabers falls to Chicago
I really am not in love with him. I think he's going to have a Quentin Johnson type start. Id draft nabers over him
Does he ever get separation?
No, all his contested catches are getting broken up in the NFL too. This guy might be the most overrated player in the draft.
@@thehiddenkoala2863 nope
It seems to be pretty rare

If you can't run route it doesn't matter how fast you are Hester was fast but couldn't runs route's.

*Like most?..*
this video just shows how good pennix is too
The more I watch his tape the more I realize he doesn't get open he is left open.
Idk guys….might be another Quentin Johnston..
I agree I see a guy who struggles getting separation and brings almost nothing to the table after the catch. Also the amount of times he fumbles for a wr is scary.
The last Washington receiver to get drafted at number 9? John Ross 😬
Yall trippin frfr
Ewww no

Just wow blaming the quarterback. Yeah he was handicapped by having a below average quarterback 😂
Brian Thomas getting no respect
first name that comes to mind is Keenan Allen.
Faster
@@GLA45Amg716 Not as sudden out of his breaks yet
Corey Coleman
whats his ideal landing spot?
Chicago
@@Mike9201984 nice youre a genius
bear down
Penix's throwing motion is so unappealing 🤮🤮🤮
This video severely tarnished my opinion on MPJ
Nuggets in shambles.
I see Alshon Jeffery when he was a bear. A jump ball specialist with good not great route running.
As a bears fan odunze has better release and route running than alshon ever did. I'd say alshon is a better jump ball reciever that rome. Even though rome is a great jump ball reciever himself. He's more of a mix of davante adams and allen robinson.
There qb has horrible ball placment throws with good Velocity but the ball placements is below average so it really doesnt matter
just a few targets to other players lmao
a Dawg

You don't know ball
Stick to ping pong bro
Not impressed 😢
