5. Bo Nix (+2000)
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton was quite a bit higher on former Oregon quarterback, Bo Nix, and selected him with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. That was a surprise but the reasons for his optimism is clear. Nix would appear to be a really good fit with the offense Payton wants to deploy.
The former Duck is very accurate and makes good decisions with the ball but he lacks the kind of arm strength NFL teams typically value. He needs to be in an offense that values the traits he possesses and Payton feels he can use Nix in a similar way that he used Drew Brees. The Broncos have decent weapons but Nix is a longshot to win this award for a reason. Payton is betting big on Nix to be a success and he should get an early opportunity to prove whether or not he has what it takes.
Bo Nix Offensive Rookie of the Year Odds: +2000
