3 sacks with a sack and a pass breakup last week. not a name people know but he gets to the qb
Odeyingbo is a sturdy, versatile edge who can help Sweat by keeping the rush rotation honest. The real question is how quickly he regains his full burst after the Achilles recovery.
Strengths: Versatility, starting experience, strong frame and functional run-defense ability.
Weaknesses: Recent Achilles injury clouds explosiveness and availability, while his sack production has been modest.
Odeyingbo is valuable because he can be a big edge on early downs or kick inside and create a mismatch. He has an eight-sack season on the résumé, but last year ended after eight starts with only one sack. That makes health and burst the obvious questions. I have him at a six: versatile and capable of a real rebound, but he needs to show the injury did not take away the suddenness that made him productive in Indianapolis.
Strengths: His size, length and positional flexibility help Chicago vary fronts without substituting. Odeyingbo can set an edge, collapse guards from inside and has a proven ability to force fumbles when his rush gets home.
Weaknesses: The 2025 injury and one-sack output create real uncertainty. He can be slow to win the corner, and his impact drops if he cannot generate power quickly enough to threaten inside counters.
