2024 NFL draft: Best photos of Bears rookies Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze

The Chicago Bears welcomed two new members to the roster during the first round of the 2024 NFL draft — and it’s safe to say expectations are sky high for this offense.

Chicago selected quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick. Shortly after, the Bears managed to land a top playmaking wide receiver in Rome Odunze at No. 9.

Both Williams and Odunze were in Detroit for the action — they even shared a flight together from Los Angeles — and got to hear their name called and walk out on stage in front of a record 275,000 people at Campus Martius.

Here are the best photos of Williams and Odunze on Thursday night:
