Two days after he said on a podcast that quarterback Caleb Williams can do nothing right in the eyes of the media, Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze said Friday that he was talking about the national discourse.
“On a national scale, for sure, it’s a lot of criticism that I feel is sometimes arbitrary,” he said. “It’s all good. … This is our profession and Caleb understands that being the pick that he is and where he is. So we’ll take it all and we’ll bang it for sure.”
They’ll have a chance to do so on a national stage — the Bears’ opener is on “Monday Night Football”
On the St. Brown Podcast, released earlier this week, Odunze agreed when host Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Lions receiver, said that “if he takes one step wrong, it’s ‘Caleb did this, this, this.’ They just can’t let him be.” St. Brown added that “no matter what he does, good or bad, it’s all on Twitter.”
Odunze said on the podcast that the criticism didn’t match the game film.
“It don’t even come down to ‘just keep it football,’ because all the football stuff they talk about is false, too,” he said then. “I don’t know, he just gets all the flak. The No. 1 pick in Chicago, that’s the treatment.”
