The 2025 NFL Draft is now complete, and Cam Ward and Ashton Jeanty are the co-favorites (+275) to win the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.

Ward, the former Miami Hurricanes quarterback who was selected first overall by the Tennessee Titans, completed 67.2 percent of his passes for 4,313 yards and a 39-7 TD-INT ratio in 13 games last season. His 39 TDs led the nation, he won the ACC Offensive Player of the Year Award, and he finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting.

Jeanty joins the team that finished last in the NFL in rushing yards last season. The 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up rushed 374 times for 2,601 yards and 30 total TDs in 14 games last year, leading the nation in rushing attempts and yards while guiding his team to the College Football Playoff.

Jacksonville Jaguars second-overall pick, two-way star Travis Hunter (+700), is third in the betting. He projects to be Jags QB Trevor Lawrence's No. 1 target immediately, and while he will play some cornerback in specific situations, it seems most of his energy will be spent on offense.

Fourth in the market is new Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (+1000). A basketball and volleyball player in his youth, the 6-foot-5 former Arizona wideout looks like a prototypical No. 1 receiver. In the last two seasons, he has totaled 174 catches, 2,721 receiving yards, and 18 TDs, and Panthers QB Bryce Young will be grateful to GM Dan Morgan for drafting a talented WR.

Omarion Hampton (+1200), the former North Carolina RB drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers, is fifth in the betting. While the Chargers finished second-to-last in rushing yards before contact in 2024, Hampton posted two seasons of 1,500+ rushing yards and 15 TDs in college, illustrating his talent.

New Orleans Saints second-round pick QB Tyler Shough (+1600) is sixth in the betting. The Saints' 2024 starter, Derek Carr, is dealing with a shoulder injury, opening the door for Shough to open the season as the starter. Shough started every regular-season game for the first time in his college career last year, posting a 62.7 percent completion rate, 3,195 yards, and a 23-6 TD-INT ratio for Louisville.

Further back in the Offensive Rookie of the Year market are New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (+2000), Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden (+2200), Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey (+2200), Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders (+2200), Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland (+2500), New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart (+2500), Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka (+2800), Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren (+2800), Clevleand Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (+3000), Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe (+3500), and Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (+3500).
