Anytime you are the Heisman Trophy winner going first in the NFL Draft as a team's new franchise quarterback, you are going to be favored to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 2017, Oklahoma Sooners' quarterback Baker Mayfield won the Heisman as the most outstanding college football player that season. He went on to become the first overall pick in the draft by the Cleveland Browns. Although New York Giants' running back Saquon Barkley won offensive ROY honors last season, Mayfield was high on the list with voters.
In 2018, Kyler Murray took over the reins at quarterback for the Sooners and he went on to win that year's Heisman. When the draft rolled around in late April, Murray came off the board first as the new signal caller for the Arizona Cardinals. He now has a chance to pull off the trifecta that Mayfield could not by winning offensive ROY honors this upcoming season.
There is definitely some value in his odds as the favorite on the NFL futures board at BetAnySports online sportsbook. However, as part of my ongoing coverage of the NFL for the popular sports betting site Scores & Stats, there is some even better value to be found in a few offensive rookies looking to make an immediate impact for their new NFL team.
