NFL Football Players Draft Injuries Rookies Season SuperbowlPublished: September 27, 2009
Odom, the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after sacking Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rogers five times in week two, has piled up seven sacks in only three September games. The sack total is more than double his tally of three from an injury-plagued 2008 campaign.
Also, the sixth year defensive end—in the second year of a five year $29.5 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals—recently welcomed a new addition to his family, as his wife gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, a boy, Memphis, on Sept. 25.
Riding this professional and personal high, Odom—who added 30 pounds to his frame in the offseason, drawing rumors of performance-enhancing drug use in recent weeks—has given the Bengals the elite, gameplan-altering pass rusher that they have lacked for years.
