Former Washington WR Rome Odunze is pulling for Seattle but not so much Seahawks

SAN FRANCISCO — Rome Odunze, the former University of Washington wide receiver, has clarified that his loyalties lie with the city of Seattle, not necessarily with the Seahawks. Speaking in San Francisco, Odunze stated plainly that he is not rooting for the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl, while also noting that he holds no particular support for the New England Patriots either.

The distinction underscores a nuanced stance: Odunze appreciates his Seattle roots but stops short of endorsing the hometown franchise’s championship aspirations. His comments leave open which, if any, team he is actively backing as the postseason unfolds.
