The Chicago Bears’ two top 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft are already best friends. Caleb Williams, the new face of the Bears’ franchise after the USC quarterback was taken first overall in the NFL Draft, was in the green room when Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze was taken No. 9 overall by Chicago. The Bears, who are already loaded with offensive playmakers like Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore, Cole Kmet and D’Andre Swift, took Odunze to give Williams as much firepower as he can handle. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams poses on the red carpet ahead of the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, April 25, 2024, in Detroit.

However, there were many options that could have happened in between those picks that would have made Odunze unavailable. However, there were no crazy trades from teams outside the top 10 as predicted, and Odunze was there for the taking. GM Ryan Poles and the rest of the Bears’ front office were all smiles, as they got the two picks they wanted on day one.  Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze, left, and USC quarterback Caleb Williams are now teammates with the Chicago Bears.  (IMAGN)CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThose two picks are already the best of friends. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
