NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Odds by Player for the 2020 NFL Season

The 2020 NFL Draft is all wrapped up, and after months of speculation, we have official landing spots for all of the year's top rookies. We've already looked at the favorites to win Offensive Rookie of the Year, but now let's turn our attention to the other side of the ball.

This was a strong class on the defensive side, with two of the top three picks in the draft being defenders, and 30 defensive players drafted in the first two rounds. Chase Young is the early favorite to win Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2020, but he has plenty of competition.
