Odunze’s Stellar College Career

Despite the hype surrounding his draft prospects, Odunze maintains a level-headed approach. “I don’t know exactly where I’ll end up, and I don’t want to be disappointed with anything,” he said. “I’m just enjoying the process and whatever happens, happens.”
Defining Odunze, the Receiver
When asked to describe his own skills as a wide receiver, Odunze said, “I think that I’m a pretty complete wide receiver. I think that I provide a lot of skills to an offense and versatility to an offense. And I think I do it in a pretty blue-collar way. Not too loud, but I love to be hype and feel the emotions of the game as well.”
Penning His Future with Sharpie
Odunze has partnered with Sharpie ahead of the draft and will be using Sharpie S-Gel Pens to sign both his rookie contract and autographs throughout his first season in the NFL. “I used to do that as a kid a lot,” he said about practicing his signature. “Any time I switched up the signature I want to perfect it.”
