The transition from college football to the National Football League (NFL) is difficult, but many standout players have excelled in their first professional season and gone on to have great careers. Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson, Barry Sanders, and Randy Moss are among the many Hall of Famers to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, which is awarded by the Associated Press (AP). Below are four first-year players with some of the best odds to be named 2024 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year.

1. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears)

The Chicago Bears drafted University of Southern California (USC) quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the 2024 Draft and made subsequent moves to ensure he has plenty of weapons at his disposal in his first season as the face of the franchise. Chicago also drafted University of Washington receiver Rome Oduze, who had a record-breaking year in 2023 with 1,640 receiving yards, breaking the school record for most yards in a season by almost 200.

Before the draft, the Bears acquired six-time Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. They also have D.J. Moore, who led the team with a career-high 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 2023.

Williams, meanwhile, won the Heisman Trophy as the top player in college football in 2022 and finished the 2023 season with 30 touchdowns and just five interceptions. He has the shortest betting odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

2. Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders)

Selected second overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, Jayden Daniels is a dual-threat quarterback with five seasons of college experience, split between Arizona State and Louisiana State University (LSU).

He won the Heisman Trophy in 2023 after recording 3,812 passing yards, 1,134 rushing yards, and 50 combined passing and rushing touchdowns. Daniels rushed for at least 10 yards on more than 40 snaps last season and could give NFL defenses fits with his elite athleticism.

3. Marvin Harrison, Jr. (Arizona Cardinals)

Considered the best wide receiver in the 2023 NFL Draft, Marvin Harrison, Jr., was a dominant force at Ohio State, recording at least 1,200 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns in each of his last two seasons. He also has family pedigree: his father, Marvin Harrison, is a Hall of Famer and eight-time Pro Bowl receiver who played 13 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.

4. Malik Nabers (New York Giants)

Selected sixth overall by the New York Giants, Malik Nabers was an All-American wide receiver at LSU in 2023. He finished the season with 1,569 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns and has a good chance to lead the Giants in targets in 2024.
