A quick look at the odds for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year coming out of the 2024 NFL draft provided a little bit of a surprise: Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper, the first off-ball linebacker off the board at No. 45 overall and a likely Day 1 starter for new defensive coordinatorJeff Hafley, doesn’t currently rank in the top 12 at BetMGM.
