It’s never too early to talk about NFL Rookie of the Year odds.
Sites like Vegasinsider, Bettingpros, Gamblinginsider.com, and others have either already posted their odds or will do so later.
So far, the consensus seems to be that Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiah Love will be named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Right now, Love is leading the pack at +250. That might be a shock to some, but if you look at it closely, it shouldn’t be.
Love may be called on a lot to carry this Arizona Cardinals team, so that may explain why his odds are the highest right now.
Right behind him is Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza at +350. Like Love, Mendoza will probably be called on a lot to carry his team in his rookie season.
The last rookie quarterback to win the award was LSU’s Jayden Daniels.
Daniels not only won rookie of the year in his first season as a pro, but also led his team to the playoffs.
Other names in the running are Tennessee Titans wide receiver Carnell Tate and New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson.
The good news for both Tate and Tyson is that a wide receiver won the award this past year. Carolina Panthers Tetairoa McMillian won the award last year, leading all rookie wideouts in yards and touchdowns.
McMillian wasn’t on many people’s radar, even as a favorite last year. While the odds may be in their favor, it wouldn’t be a shocker if an unknown may come out of nowhere to take the award.
