Rome Odunze vs Ja'Marr Chase 40 time: Is Washington WR faster than Bengals star?

Rome Odunze will be one of the most in-demand wideouts when the 2024 draft comes around. The Washington wideout also impressed in most drills during the NFL scouting combine.

Odunze completed his 40-yard dash in 4.45 seconds. However, his effort was a tad slower than Ja'Marr Chase, who did his 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds at the LSU Pro Day in 2021.

Here's a look at Chase's results and measurements from the other drills at the LSU pro day three years ago:

• 20 Yard Split: 2.51 seconds
• 10 Yard Split: 1.59 seconds
• Vertical Leap: 41.0 inches
• Broad Jump: 132 inches
• Hand Size: 9.63 inches
• Arm Length: 30.75 inches
• 20 Yd Shuttle: 3.99 seconds
• Three Cone: 6.96 seconds

Chase was selected fifth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals at the 2021 NFL draft. He made an instant impact on the team and won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Notably, Chase has earned Pro Bowl honors in each of his three seasons with the Bengals so far. He even helped them reach the Super Bowl in 2022, but Cincinnati lost to the Los Angeles Rams at the final hurdle.

Chase has racked up 3,717 yards and 29 touchdowns on 268 receptions across 45 regular-season games for the Bengals. In seven postseason games, the wideout has 588 yards and three touchdowns on 45 catches.
