The NFLPA Recognizes Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze as Emerging Talents…
The Chicago Bears have two standout rookies on the rise, and our partners at BreakingT are ready to celebrate!
The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has announced their 2024 lineup of Rising Stars, an annual list created by NFL Players Inc., the marketing and licensing division of the NFLPA. Each year, this list highlights 10 rookies and 10 veterans who are expected to make a significant impact on retail sales of officially licensed NFLPA player merchandise and potentially secure top spots in the NFLPA Top 50 Players Sales charts. This year, two Chicago rookies made the cut: quarterback Caleb Williams, who claimed the top spot, and wide receiver Rome Odunze, who placed ninth.
Matt Curtin, President of NFL Players Inc., emphasized the importance of compiling this list to help partners prepare for the future. “With so many talented players out there, making this list is always competitive. We’re thrilled to harness the excitement surrounding these Rising Stars and create even more valuable business opportunities.”
Here’s the top 10 rookie list:
1. Caleb Williams, QB – Chicago Bears
2. Keon Coleman, WR – Buffalo Bills
3. J.J. McCarthy, QB – Minnesota Vikings
4. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR – Arizona Cardinals
5. Terrion Arnold, CB – Detroit Lions

7. Jayden Daniels, QB – Washington Commanders
8. Drake Maye, QB – New England Patriots
