With the first round of the NFL draft almost underway, sportsbooks finally felt comfortable posting 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds. The top of the board in replete isn’t as stacked with QBs as it is most seasons. Instead, soon-to-be #1 overall pick Cam Ward is joined by a host of skill-position players. The table below lists the opening NFL OROY odds the top 25 favorites.
NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds (2025)
Jeanty has opened with Offensive Rookie of the Year odds of +250, which equals a 28.57% implied win probability. Ward is just behind him at +400 (20% implied win probability) with Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter third at +800 (12.5%) and his teammate QB Shedeur Sanders fourth at +800 (11.1%). No other player is shorter than +1200.

Odds as of 5:17 pm ET at BetRivers.
Jeanty Opens as 2025 NFL OROY Favorites
It’s not a surprise to see Jeanty open as the favorite. The Boise State product is the most-sought-after running back prospect since Saquon Barkley, and Barkley’s exploits in the playoffs with the Super Bowl-champion Eagles have increased the premiums on running backs around the league.
It’s also much easier to integrate a tier-one running back into an offense than it is to integrate a rookie QB. Jeanty is going to be a huge part of the offense for whichever team drafts him (side note: the latest Ashton Jeanty odds heavily favor him going #5 to the Chicago Bears).
Also working in Jeanty’s favor is that the 2025 QB class is not good. Cameron Ward is the clear-cut #1 and is widely expected to go first overall to the Tennessee Titans, whose offense is in disarray. It’s much easier to see Jeanty turning a middling Bears attack into an upper-echelon unit than Ward transforming the Titans attack in his first season under center.
Hunter Listed Third Despite Positional Questions
It’s somewhat puzzling that dual-threat WR/CB Travis Hunter is the third favorite. Hunter has been adamant that he wants to play on both sides of the ball but there’s no doubt that he’s seen as a better cornerback prospect than wide receiver prospect. Whichever team takes him is almost certainly going to want him to play at corner. If they can use him on offense without sacrificing his effectiveness on defense, great. But that’s a big if.
There’s no way to be certain Hunter will get enough offensive snaps to warrant him being the third favorite in the 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds.
