Could Washington LB Jamin Davis Win NFL Rookie Of The Year?

Jamin Davis has the seventh-best odds to win 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year

Jamin Davis is a particular favorite of the coaching staff of the Washington Football Team. And among the oddsmakers putting together their list of candidates to win 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year?

He's a favorite of sorts there as well.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, the 12th overall selection in the NFL Draft - and the guy the Cowboys swear was the No. 1 defensive player on their Big Board - is the top candidate for the award, according to PointsBet.

They have Parsons as a +450 proposition to win Rookie of the Year among defensive players.

A few spots later - at +1400 - comes Davis, taken by the WFT with the No. 10 overall pick. Davis has the seventh-best odds here.

Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn, who was taken ahead of Parsons, is at +1500 - interestingly, behind Davis. Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain, taken in the No. 9 slot, one pick behind Horn, is at +1000.

Two pass-rushers have a shot, with Dolphins rookie Jaelen Phillips (taken 18th) at +850 and Colts rookie Kwity Paye (taken at 21) at +900.

Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is at +1100. Cardinals linebacker Zaven Collins (taken at 16) is at +1200. And then comes Davis.

Who really wins the ROY? It starts with being a starter, maybe on a good team, and one capable of putting up numbers. Interceptions matter. Sacks matter. And wins matter.

It is too early to know how Jamin Davis will line up for the Washington Football Team, so it is too early to know what sort of numbers he will record, what sort of performance he will register, and how successful he and his new team will be.

But it is not too early to bet on it.
