The Chargers met with one of the top wide receiver prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine.
James Odunze, father of Washington WR Rome Odunze, confirmed that he met with Los Angeles this past week in Indianapolis, IN.
Odunze is coming off a terrific performance at Lucas Oil Stadium. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash and jumped a 39-inch vertical. He posted a 6.88 three-cone drill, but he stayed on the field to try to get a 6.6, which speaks to his strog work ethic.
At 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds, Odunze is a talented receiver with great size, good route running and savvy, strong hands and contested catch ability.
Odunze set a school record this past season with 1,640 receiving yards, the most in the NCAA. His 92 receptions were just two shy of a single-season program record, and he was named a first-team all-American.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh has already had a good look at Odunze when Washington faced Michigan in the National Championship game. Odunze finished with five catches for 87 yards.
Mike Williams could be relieved to clear cap space. Keenan Allen isn’t getting any younger. Quentin Johnston still has to prove himself after an underwhelming rookie season. Odunze would be a solid addition to the position room.
