Scouting Report: Strengths
- Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
- He’s a creative runner with good vision in the open field. He’ll contribute as a run blocker on the perimeter. He’s also a possible return specialist.
- An impressive athlete with very quick acceleration to reach his top speed quickly and stretch the field. Very good body control and smooth movements. Plays fast and explosive.
- Odunze fights his way off the line of scrimmage against press coverage, showing quick, violent hands and good balance.
- Odunze also has value as a catch-and-run threat, running hard and consistently picking up yards after the catch.
- Good effort and technique as a blocker for his size. Can beat the press with elusiveness or physical contact. Runs crisp routes with sharp cuts.
- A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His playing speed is less than elite. Odunze won’t run past defenders like Odunze did at the college level.
- He isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- Odunze doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
