2024-25 NFL odds: Which rookie quarterback will throw for most passing yards?
The 2024 NFL Draft marked the first time five quarterbacks were drafted in the top 10 in draft history, as well as the first time since 1983 that six QBs were taken in the first round.
With that, like many other top-notch classes in the past, members of the 2024 QB class will often be compared to one another.
Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix will all start in Week 1, while Michael Penix Jr, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy haven’t quite assumed the starting roles yet.
Williams will look to be effective immediately, as Chicago has surrounded him with dynamic weapons.
In addition to standout wide receiver D.J. Moore, the Bears brought in a few new weapons, including veteran WR Keenan Allen and No. 9 pick Rome Odunze.
Let’s take a look at the odds for most rookie passing yards via DraftKings Sportsbook as of Sept. 4.
Most Regular Season Rookie Passing Yards:
Caleb Williams, Bears: -130 (bet $10 to win $17.69 total)
Jayden Daniels, Commanders: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
Bo Nix, Broncos: +350 (bet $10 to win $45 total)
Drake Maye, Patriots: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Michael Penix Jr., Falcons: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)
Spencer Rattler, Saints: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total)
Williams threw for over 10,000 yards in just 37 college games at USC and Oklahoma, and not surprisingly, is the favorite to have the most passing yards of any rookie QB.
On July 17, Williams’ odds sat at +100. They have since shortened to -130, with his NFL debut on tap for Sunday, when Chicago hosts Tennessee.
