Vikings pass rusher Dallas Turner is a slight favorite over Colts pass rusher Laiatu Latu to win the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Turner, who the Vikings traded up to 17th overall for, is listed as a +400 favorite at DraftKings.com. Latu, the first defenseman picked at 15th overall, is at +550.
The Defensive Rookie of the Year has been a pass rusher in four of the last five years, so it’s no surprise that oddsmakers see a pass rusher winning again this year. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year is Texas pass rusher Will Anderson.
The next best odds belong to Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and Rams defensive end Jared Verse, both at +1100. Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold is +1200, Dolphins defensive end Chop Robinson and Seahawks defensive tackle Byron Murphy are +1300, and Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean is +2000 .
