Las Vegas’ 1st-round pick is expected to be an instant star
In 2024, Brock Bowers was a finalist to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
In 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders are expected to have another frontrunner for the award.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbooks, Las Vegas first-round pick Ashton Jeanty is the betting favorite to win the award.
The Boise State running back, who was the No. 6 overall draft pick on Thursday night, is priced at +270 to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. He has the lowest (best) odds in the league, just in front ofTennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward. The Miami product was the No. 1 overall pick. He is priced at +380.
It is not a surprise that Jeanty is such a betting favorite to win the hardware. He is expected to have an instant impact and running backs often get love for this award as three have won the award in the past decade. So, this makes a lot of sense.
