The 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, so it’s time for fans of prop bets to start looking at which players are most likely to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. First, let’s take a walk down memory lane and see which first-year stars have earned the award in the last 10 years to see what trends we can find that help us make a better wager.
During our timeframe, three quarterbacks have earned the honor. Those were Justin Herbert (2020), Kyler Murray (2019) and Dak Prescott (2016). Running backs have won the award four times, a list that includes Saquon Barkley (2018), Alvin Kamara (2017), Todd Gurley (2015) and Eddie Lacy (2013). The remaining trio are wideouts, Garrett Wilson (2022), Ja’Marr Chase (2021) and Odell Beckham Jr. (2014).
Each of the last five winners were drafted in the first round, so bettors should take that into consideration. Overall, seven of the last 10 were Round 1 selections. The lone exceptions are Prescott (Round 4), Kamara (Round 3) and Lacy (Round 2).
