Rome > Reggie

Reggie was more athletically talented and physically dominant, but Odunze is not far behind in that regard. He also plays smarter, and seems to have more of those general receiver or "football player" skills that guys like Steve Largent and Jerry Rice had. Not saying Odunze is the next Jerry Rice, just that Reggie seemed to mostly rely on his athletic talent, whereas Odunze does not.
Both are all-time Husky greats. If I had to pick, I'm on board with Odunze. That catch he made to seal the victory was incredibly clutch. It was contested, it was rainy, it was thrown into a tight window...He's a fucking hero. -
This kids has delivered in every game, even in the abomination of the ASU game.

Reggie’s a little bigger, but he’s not really more athletically talented. Rome is faster.Fenderbender123 said:Reggie was more athletically talented and physically dominant, but Odunze is not far behind in that regard.

Is Rome really faster? For some reason I thought Williams was this cheetah and Rome was a gazelle… both fast. Williams loos faster in comparison or is that just my old eyes playing tricks on me?RoadDawg55 said:

Reggie was drafted top-10 before receivers became the second most important players on the field. He would be insane on this team with Penix throwing to him. Rome is also great and seems to have "it" beyond whatever his metrics are.

Paul Skansi would like a word…☝️

I think he's right that Odunze beats Reggie in a sprint, however Reggie had a rare burst for any size and was more of a threat to take a short throw to the house.dirtysouwfdawg said:

I saw Reggie do some dumb obstacle course against the two other Williams in that draft (Roy and Mike). I think it was prior to the draft. I was excited watching the other two guys look pretty slow at itz thinking that Reggie was going to blow their doors off. Instead he looked like an OL running and was so out of shape he barely finished the course.
I had a bad feeling about the direction he was headed, and that turned out to be right. Too bad. Rome isn't going to have those issues. -
Think back to the Rome punt return against Cal. Didn't look fast. Left everyone in the dust

I remember a Paul Arnold punt return that was similar. Didn't look fast, but he dusted everyone. Efficient stride I suppose...RaceBannon said:Think back to the Rome punt return against Cal. Didn't look fast. Left everyone in the dust
