Check out some more results of the national SB Nation Reacts survey from last week.

The recent set of SB Nation Reacts survey questions, which was emailed to fans of all 32 teams, had a couple of Chicago Bears-related topics. We shared the results of their rookie quarterback question yesterday, and here are the results of their similar poll about rookie wide receivers.

Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., selected by the Arizona Cardinals fourth overall, was the landslide winner of the survey, with Chicago’s Rome Odunze coming in second.

Harrison is a ready-made prospect who will step in on day one as Arizona’s best receiver, but does that necessarily mean he’ll have the easiest transition into the NFL?

Harrison will be counted on to be a key contributor to their offense immediately, and he has the talent to make a difference as a rookie.

Odunze, while a fantastic prospect in his own right, enters a team where he’s third on the wide receiver pecking order behind DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. Odunze will be able to transition to the pro game without expectations of being WR1.

Analysts are unanimous in their belief that this is an incredible class of receivers, so it will be interesting to see how big of an impact each has on their team.

Bears fans, do you agree with the national results that Harrison will have the easiest transition to the NFL?


For more on Odunze and what he’ll bring to the Bears, check out his interview with his trainer, former NFL wideout T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
