DEERFIELD, Ill. – DJ Moore and Rome Odunze are spending a lot of time together, lately.
The Bears dynamic duo spent Sunday working with kids at Moore’s annual youth football camp in Deerfield.
Kaitlin Sharkey caught up with the star wideouts ahead of this week’s mandatory minicamp to see their first impressions of new Bears head coach Ben Johnson and what to expect in Year 2 with Caleb Williams.
“Ben’s intense as everybody can see. He’s demanding a lot out of everybody. It’s good on us to have a little change,” noted Moore. “The details – how he demands perfection. If we don’t do it, we’ve got to go back and do it again. You really got to study his playbook. I’ve been in my playbook a lot.”
“It’s been great. Sometimes change is uncomfortable, but I feel like we’re building in that uncomfort. Everybody’s getting to know each other. Everybody’s getting to know the vibe,” remarked Odunze. “Everybody’s heard about Ben’s intensity and that’s real. He’s been putting everybody on their P’s and Q’s. I think that’s good for us. I think we’re headed in the right direction. Individualize-wise I’ve been feeling great. I made a lot of gains this offseason, learning the playbook and growing. As a team, I feel like our chemistry is coming together. We’re building up to a special year.”
