ESPN analyst Jordan Reid just dropped preseason NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds, and our guy, Seahawks No. 32 overall pick Jadarian Price, is already making serious noise! While Arizona’s rookie Jeremiyah Love is tagged as the clear front-runner, Price is right there breathing down his neck, and that’s something to get hyped about!
Love Leads, But Price Is Right There
Love, the Cardinals’ No. 3 overall pick, projects at +550 to win OROY. Reid expects Arizona to feed him the ball often, as a rusher and pass-catcher, despite an injury sustained after a 73-yard preseason showing against the Las Vegas Raiders. He’s expected to be fine. But here’s the kicker for us 12s: Price, our first-round running back from Notre Dame, sits just behind Love at +650! That’s a tiny gap before Week 1 even starts!
NFC West Rookie Battle Brews
The OROY race isn’t a runaway for Love. Reid’s projections show Price strongly positioned against other top rookies. Carnell Tate of the Titans is at +600, just slightly better than Price. More importantly for division bragging rights, Price is comfortably ahead of another NFC West rookie, De’Shaun Stribling of the San Francisco 49ers, who’s a distant +1,100. It truly feels like Love and Price are the main contenders here, especially within our division. Love may be the front-runner for now, but Price’s potential to quickly close that gap is undeniable.
The season hasn’t even kicked off, but the OROY conversation is already electric, and we’ve got a genuine contender representing the Emerald City. Keep your eyes locked on Jadarian Price when the season starts, because if these early odds are any indication, our rookie RB is about to make a huge impact. Get hyped, 12s!
