The Jacksonville Jaguars had big-time expectations for 2021 first-round selection Travis Etienne, but unfortunately a Lisfranc injury in the preseason caused him to miss his rookie season. As a result, the Jags’ offense was in a bad predicament to start off the regular season as Etienne brought speed and potentially versatility to the unit.
With his potential impact being missed in 2021, it appears many haven’t forgotten about what Etienne can bring to the table and he’s received a significant amount of attention in the football community, even outside of local reports. A big reason for that is because fantasy football analysts seem high on the former Clemson running back as he returned to the field during organized team activities and was a standout.
The oddsmakers in Vegas also seem to be watching Etienne carefully as he could be a contender for Comeback Player of the Year. As of this moment Tipico Sportsbook has him down with a +3,000 figure (with eight others) to win the award, which are the eighth highest odds in the category. Of course, this means that a $100 wager on Etienne would return a profit of $3,000.
