Bears
Chicago overhauled the receiver room this offseason by adding WR Keenan Allen and first-round WR Rome Odunze. Allen had high praise for Odunze and feels heโs further along than Allen was at that age.
โHeโs a little bit better than me when I came in,โ Allen said, via the teamโs YouTube. โHeโs faster. I think he comes out of his breaks better than I did when I was that young. He looks more polished than I was as a receiver.โ

Packers
Packers RB AJ Dillon cut his weight down to 245 pounds with an exceptional 5% body fat this offseason.
โThis is the best Iโve seen him. Hands down,โ Packers HC Matt LaFleur said, via the teamโs website. โI was joking with him the other day. You can see the abs on him. Thatโs hard for a big man to do. He looks like heโs in great shape.โ
Packers RB Josh Jacobs said Dillon has been a leader in the locker room and has been someone that others can come to for questions about the playbook as well.
โHeโs been a great vet,โ Jacobs said. โHeโs come in and helped all the guys in the room, including me. If we have questions about something we didnโt know, he didnโt keep that to himself. Heโs been more than welcoming.โ
Dillon said he still has everything yet to prove and doesnโt have any plans of slowing down soon.
โPlaying Year 5 as a running back, thatโs a feat in itself (but) itโs not even close to the end of the story,โ Dillon said. โIโm coming out here, having fun, enjoying the process and striving to get better every day. I donโt think Iโve really scratched the peak of where I could get and Iโm trying to get there.โ
Vikings
Vikings WR Jordan Addison spoke about his off-season DUI arrest for the first time after training camp got underway. Addison appreciates the support around him and vows to continue learning from his mistakes.
โI was surprised by the support that I received,โ Addison said, via ESPNโs Kevin Seifert. โI didnโt think it was going to be how it was, but it was really important. I was in the dark place. I was feeling down, and they really uplifted me, uplifted me to come out here and just perform at a high level still. So through everything thatโs going on, Iโm going to put it behind me and Iโm still going to perform at a high level, come out here give the fans what they pay for.โ
โIโm just going to keep learning. Iโm saying thatโs all I can do, is just learn from my mistakes and keep moving forward. Thatโs what it is.โ
