Agent: USFL defensive player of the year Chris Odom has three NFL workouts
Posted by Charean Williams on July 6, 2022, 7:26 PM EDT



His agent, Louis Bing, announced on social media Wednesday that Odom has three workouts scheduled with NFL teams. Bing did not name the teams, but the workouts are required to be reported by the teams once Odom works out.

“The calls are starting to come in fast for the USFL defensive player of the year,” Bing wrote.

Odom, 27, played on the same defensive line as Myles Garrett for a season at Arlington Martin High School. He attended Arkansas State but went undrafted in 2017.

Odom has spent time with the Falcons, Packers, Dolphins and Commanders, playing seven games with Green Bay in 2017 and four with Washington in 2019.

He has spent time with teams coached by Dan Quinn and Mike McCarthy, who now both are with the Cowboys.

Chris Odom is an American football defensive end for the Houston Gamblers of the United States Football League. He played college football at Arkansas State. He has also been a member of the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, Salt Lake Stallions, and Washington Commanders.

Why not? Doesn't hurt to give him a look, but am not going to get excited about a guy who has been on 4 or 5 NFL teams already then wound up in the NFL playing against OTs who could not make an NFL team. Maybe he is just the best of a lot of bad players. But, give him a look. He is only 27.

Maybe a (very) late bloomer; curious to know how many other USFLers get a training camp invite.

So, merely being coached by McCarthy and Quinn is a big deal? If it matters so much then why are the Cowboys still without a playoff victory with them? Being the USFL Def PotY is still the best of the worst, IMO. If he meets NFL standards then let him play in the NFL, not the USFL. :laugh:

Well another feather in Quinn's cap ...
