Strengths
Great overall frame and catch radius. Phenomenal ball skills. Pure hands catcher that plucks the ball out of the air. Excellent play strength. Sensational body control in the air. Outstanding above-the-rim and contested catch focus. Extends for throws off his frame. Extreme catch focus with defenders on him. Tough taking a hit and holding on. Gets his hands up late. Above-average speed to get vertical. Glides to track the deep ball and adjust downfield. Knows how to separate late. Exceptional feel for winning on back-shoulder passes. Dangerous on one-on-one fades. Perfect technique working back to the football. Draws penalties with physical play. Very crafty. Terrific footwork as a route runner. Great feet and stop-start ability in general. Sinks his hips in and out of breaks. Plants his foot on the ground and cuts crisply on in-breaking routes. Quick and smooth on out routes. Very impressive shake running routes. Uses head manipulation to sell routes. Highly intelligent. Sees a busted coverage and will take advantage of it. Shows an ability to run complex downfield routes. Can hit a deceptive stutter-and-go move. Strong and slippery as a runner. Effective on perimeter and tunnel screens. Used on reverses to get the ball in his hands. Experience lining up on both sides and in the slot. Good ability as a run blocker. Has experience and success returning punts. Extremely high character.
Weaknesses
Not every route is run at full speed or carried out completely. Routes can be more consistent from play to play (seems to coast at times). Can have some trouble getting off press jams. Would like to see him attach rather than hand check as a blocker.

Conclusion
Overall, Odunze is a contested-catch winner with great ball skills, top-tier catch focus, and craftiness as a route runner. He has the potential to be an annual double-digit touchdown threat at the next level.
