Bears' Rome Odunze Praises 'Magic' Caleb Williams for Throw in Viral Preseason Video | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Even Rome Odunze was impressed after fellow rookie Caleb Williams beat him to an absolute dime in Saturday's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

“Honestly, it’s pretty unreal,” Odunze told reporters after the game. “I just watched it again. He drops one leg and places it on my outside shoulder. It's like… oh, it's magical what he does back there in the backcourt. He’s special.”

Everyone else who saw the throw agreed with the general sentiment, including Bears wideout DJ Moore.

“Elite,” he told reporters about Williams’ pocket awareness. “Elite. Have you seen how he makes people look silly out there? Yes, that’s elite.”

Williams, meanwhile, stated that the throw was inspired by plays Aaron Rodgers has made over the years.

“That’s what I’ve been working on in practice,” he told reporters. “When I look at Aaron Rodgers, I know he's a Green Bay guy … he can do some incredible things.”

Chicago fans may not be thrilled to see Williams evoke memories of a longtime Bears tormentor like Rodgers, but if he continues to make throws like Saturday's point, he'll be forgiven.
