For much of the first 10 weeks of the NFL season, Los Angeles Rams rookie Jared Verse has been the clear leader for Defensive Rookie of the Year. That became even more evident as Verse essentially took over games against the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks. In those games, Verse had 2.5 sacks and 10 pressures. As it stands, Verse is a -160 favorite to win the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Behind him is Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell at +210.
While Verse and Mitchell won’t be directly going head-to-head on Sunday Night Football, their two teams will be playing each other.
