O'Donnell was originally selected by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round (No. 191) of the 2014 NFL Draft. In eight seasons with Chicago (2014-2021), he played in 128 regular-season games, punting 564 times for a franchise record 45.1 gross average and a 39.3 net average (No. 1 in team history since 1976). O'Donnell will wear No. 16 for the Packers.
