A former Chicago Bears player has compared rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze to NBA legend Scottie Pippen, positioning quarterback Caleb Williams as the Michael Jordan of the team's offense, according to a report published on October 31, 2026.
The analogy draws a parallel between the Bears' emerging offensive duo and the iconic Chicago Bulls pairing of the 1990s. The unnamed ex-Bears star suggested that Odunze's role could mirror Pippen's versatile support to Jordan's dominant scoring.
Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and Odunze, selected ninth overall in the same draft, are expected to form the core of Chicago's offense for years to come.
