While Jared Verse started the season strong, he has seemed to hit the rookie wall over the past three weeks. For the first time since early in the season, the Los Angeles Rams rookie is no longer the odds favorite for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Depending on the Sportsbook, Philadelphia Eagles rookie Quinyon Mitchell now narrowly leads Verse +110 to +150.
The odds won’t necessarily decide the winner, but it is a testament to how close the race has become. A month ago, Verse was clearly ahead of Mitchell and it wasn’t very close.
