With the Tennessee Titans in the market for wide receivers this offseason, Washington wideout and 2024 NFL draft prospect Rome Odunze is a very real possibility for the team when it makes its pick at No. 7 overall.
During his NFL Combine press conference on Friday, Odunze revealed he has met with the Titans in what was one of his first meetings in Indianapolis.
Odunze came away impressed with the Titans and believes he’d be a good fit in head coach Brian Callahan’s offense.
“The Titans (meeting), that was cool,” Odunze said, per Jim Wyatt. “That was one of my first meetings, so going into it a little nervous, figuring out how those meetings are going to go.
“Good people as well, and they were also very diligent, asking me all of the good questions, making sure I knew what I was talking about. I feel like I probably impressed them hopefully. It was a good meeting.
“I would definitely fit in there. I think they have a good system going on, they have some good quarterbacks in the room, and it’s something I could help expand.”
Odunze added that he hopes to have at least a 10-year career in the NFL that ends with him being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“I think a successful career would be ending in the Hall of Fame,” he said. “I want to go at least 10 years. That would hopefully be what it would take. But I want to be one of the best to ever play the game and end up in the Hall of Fame.”
Here’s more on Odunze, courtesy of Lance Zierlein of NFL.com:
A team captain with good size and elite ball skills, Odunze consistently dominated his competition. While most receivers look to open separation windows with speed or route running, Odunze seems to relish jump balls and contested catches. He shines in all aspects of ball skills, including positioning, body control, hand strength, timing and mid-air adjustments. He has a tendency to cruise through routes rather than working with attention to detail and pacing. He was a decorated high school sprinter, so speed should not be an issue in the pros. He’s a high-volume target on the next level that play-callers can utilize to mismatch finesse cornerbacks. Elite ball skills are often the secret sauce for top NFL receivers, so it should not surprise if Odunze is a Day 1 starter who becomes a top-flight WR1.
Odunze isn’t the only notable wide receiver the Titans have met with, as LSU’s Malik Nabers has also spoken to Tennessee at the combine.
One top wideout the Titans have not met with is Marvin Harrison Jr., who did not show up for his press conference in Indy. He figures to be off the board when the Titans pick, anyway.
