NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Betting
It is perfectly understandable why the first pick of last April’s draft would be the favorite to win the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. Caleb Williams, much like Justin Fields three years ago, is the touted QB savior of the Chicago Bears. Fields was given little in the way of a supporting cast and was traded away by the Bears in order for them to try a new idea with Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner out of USC. Williams has plenty of physical skill, but his leadership and mental toughness are under question. The future of the Chicago Bears is in his hands for better or worse.

Quarterback Caleb Williams was the first overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears out of USC. Williams began his college career at Oklahoma but followed his head coach, Lincoln Riley, to USC in 2022 and won the Heisman Trophy that year. Last year, Williams took a step back, but that was explained away by blaming his supporting cast.
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr was the 4th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals out of Ohio State. Harrison was a 2-time unanimous All-American. In 2023, Harrison was the Big Ten Most Valuable Player and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels was the 2nd overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU by the Washington Commanders. Daniels was the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner and the AP College Football Player of the Year awardee.
Quarterback JJ McCarthy was the 10th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan by the Minnesota Vikings. McCarthy was the starting QB for the 2023 Michigan Wolverines national championship season.

A Houston Texan won honors as a rookie for 2023. Houston quarterback CJ Stroud was named 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Stroud was the 2nd overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. Last year, Stroud posted a record of 9-6 with a 63.9 completion rate, 4108 yards passing, 8.2 yards per attempt, and a 23-5 TD/INT ratio. Additionally, Stroud ran for 167 yards on 39 attempts, 4.3 yards per rush, and three touchdowns.
The New York Giants have had two OROY winners in the last decade in Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley. OBJ took the Big Apple by storm in his rookie season, and he was the first wide receiver to earn this honor since Percy Harvin in 2009. Saquon Barkley was the most recent running back to win the award after running for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns in his debut season.
There hasn’t been a unanimous NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year since Ben Roethlisberger garnered 100% of the vote in leading the 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers to a 15-1 record. Big Ben was fantastic throughout his first season in the league, becoming the first quarterback in 34 years to be named Rookie of the Year. Interestingly enough, Garrett Wilson was named the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year despite receiving fewer first-place votes than Kenneth Walker III
