Xavier Worthy may have stolen much of the spotlight at this year’s NFL scouting combine—and rightfully so—for his record-setting run in the 40-yard dash, but he wasn’t the only wide receiver who drew attention on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Washington wideout Rome Odunze, who reportedly has impressed teams in interviews, did something rarely seen at the combine—and it happened after the stadium had mostly emptied.
Odunze stayed on the field and wouldn’t leave until he had completed all of the combine’s events, the last of which was the three-cone drill. The Huskies receiver, regarded as a possible first-round selection in the upcoming 2024 NFL draft, went through six attempts on the three-cone drill in an attempt to better his time and eventually was told that the day’s activities were over.
