Super Bowl week is one of the biggest weeks on the NFL calendar. This is not only due to the Super Bowl being the ultimate prize but also because it brings players past and present out for interviews on media row. This year, Chicago Bears wide receivers D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze made the trip to New Orleans.

Moore and Odunze arrived on Wednesday and were immediately sought out by CHGO Sports for an interview. That said, CHGO was one of many outlets that caught up with Moore or Odunze. Another media personality who caught up with Moore is NFL Network's Adam Rank.

During their conversation, Rank asked Moore what he knew about new Bears wide receiver coach Antwaan Randle El. Moore respondes wil lexcite Bears fans.

Antwaan Randle El Plans to Lean on D.J. Moore in 2025

Moore said of Randle El that "He gave me a call this past week and said he's going to be leaning on me heavy and getting after us. I'm ready for it."

Randle El's comments should excite Bears fans to some extent. In 2024, Moore wasn't used correctly, causing him to have a down season. With Ben Johnson and Randle El coming over from Detroit. Moore's productivity is bound to increase in 2025.

However, it's safe to assume that wasn't all Randle El was alluding to when he said he would be leaning on Moore. Currently. Moore is the second oldest receiver under contract, at 27 years old. If the Bears allow Keenan Allen to hit free agency, Moore will be the eldest receiver on the team.

As a result, Randle El will be counting on Moore to be a veteran voice and leader in the room. While Moore has shown that he is more of a lead-by-example type, Randle El may try to push me to be more. With young receivers, it's important that they understand the game so that they can unlock their full potential, and Moore can help with that.

Of course, Randle El will ensure Moore is also playing at the top of his game in 2025 and beyond.
