Notes: While some receivers will beat their opponents with speed and elite route running. Odunze is more of a hand to hand combat guy and will most often than not be the one still standing in the center of the octagon when the play is done. His toughness is undeniable and he may even be the Chuck Norris of this year's wide-receiver crop. He once suffered a broken rib and punctured lung in a game against Arizona. He stayed in the hospital overnight, rested over the team's bye week before playing against Oregon. A game in which he caught eight passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in a big 36-33 win over Oregon just 14 days after suffering the injuries.
