Receiver Christian Watson isn’t the only Green Bay Packers rookie situated as a betting favorite for one of the major season awards. According to Tipico Sportsbook, first-round pick Quay Walker has the fourth-best odds to win NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year during the 2022 season.
Walker, the 21st overall pick, has +750 odds. He is tied with Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton at +750 and trails only Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (+500), New York Giants defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (+550) and Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker (+700) at Tipico.
Walker isn’t a pass-rusher, but the Packers linebacker is in a terrific situation for a rookie. If he wins a starting job, he’ll get a chance to play next to All-Pro De’Vondre Campbell and behind a talented defensive line for an ascending overall defense. There should be an awesome opportunity for Walker to produce huge tackle numbers during his first professional season.
