Olamide Zaccheaus excited to play with DJ Moore, Rome Odunze
The Chicago Bears have plenty of weapons on the offensive side of the football, and new head coach Ben Johnson, to help maximize quarterback Caleb Williams.
When it comes to the passing game, Chicago is led by their top two wide receivers in veteran DJ Moore and last year's Top 10 pick Rome Odunze. But the Bears continued to add to the group with former Washington Commanders wideout Olamide Zaccheaus.
Zaccheaus, who spent his first six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, and Commanders, brings a veteran presence to the receiver room that had Keenan Allen last season. But Zaccheaus appears to have taken that role heading into this season.
When meeting with the media this week, Zaccheaus discussed his feelings of teaming up with Moore and Odunze, who are looking to establish themselves as one of the top wide receiver duos in the league.
"We can be as good as we want to be," Zaccheaus said. "I think it can be a thing where we all push each other to be better and I feel there are things that we all do very well that we can help each other with. I'm excited to get to work with them [Moore and Odunze] and everybody else in the [wide receiver] room."
Having that chemistry and camaraderie will be essential as everyone looks to find their place in the new offense. Moore and Odunze are at the top of the depth chart, but Johnson showed in his time in Detroit that he will utilize every weapon he has available to him, meaning Zaccheaus should have plenty of looks coming his way next season.
