Rome Odunze Plans to Offer an Instant Boost to Whichever Team Drafts Him
Few New York Giants roster positions need as much help as their wide receiver unit. The Giants haven't had a notable wide receiver in over five seasons, and their offense has suffered. Arguably, the player who has been impacted the most by this is quarterback Daniel Jones.
After recently giving Jones a sizeable contract but not much talent to work with offensively, a growing feeling is the Giants will use their first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft. One such receiver the Giants are considering is Washington's Rome Odunze, whom Damian Parson of The Draft Network views as a complete receiver.
Odunze is an outstanding wide receiver prospect. He projects as a potential star WR1 for an NFL offense. His alignment versatility, paired with impressive height, weight, and speed, provides an OC with a chess piece on offense. Odunze can win with route-running, speed, and ball skills. He is a plus-run blocker who gives full effort. He is a complete wide receiver prospect and a day-one starter as a rookie.
At 6'3, 215 pounds, Oduzne is confident he has the physical and mental ability to be a successful receiver in the National Football League. After a productive college career, he's ready for his opportunity at the next level.
"I just think my versatility on the field," Oduzne said when asked about his best draw. "I've shown all the skills that can translate to the NFL at a high level and different facets of my game, and I think who I am as a person, who I am in the locker room, who I will be in the community are all A-plus."
Odunze, who had a formal meeting with the Giants at the combine that he described as "good" and of which he revealed the Giants "were quizzing me on some film," also points to his intangibles as a reason to expect he will have a successful NFL career.
"I would just say I am a student of the game," he said. I am always willing to learn, always willing to understand there is room for improvement regardless of where I am in my career."
