Gamblers Pour Betts on Shedeur Sanders to Secure Offensive Rookie of the Year Title
Rewritten Article:
Shedeur Sanders, the NFL Draft pick who slipped into the fifth round, is still earning a heap of attention from bettors, mainly because of his underdog status and brand recognition.
According to BetMGM's Trading Manager, Christian Cipollini, Sanders is bound to rake in a significant number of bets in the Offensive Rookie of the Year (OROY) market. Cipollini stated that if Sanders snags the award, it would become BetMGM's "biggest headache" in the OROY market.
Fans are already hopping on the Sanders bandwagon, with his fresh Browns jersey flying off the shelves as the best-selling pick from the NFL Draft, even though he was picked number 144 overall.
The fluctuating odds of Sanders winning OROY across various betting platforms suggest a somewhat mixed outlook on his potential. DraftKings pegs him at +1900, making him a longshot contender despite being drafted in the fifth round. Bleacher Report, though not up-to-date, previously had him at +1500, while Sportsbook Review has re-posted his odds at +2500 after the NFL Draft.
Sanders' unexpected slide to the fifth round has influenced his OROY odds, and his selection by the Cleveland Browns, who also picked quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the third round, adds to the competition for the starting role. This tough draft position and roster dynamics make Sanders' path to OROY more challenging, but his odds still place him amongst the notable contenders.
Strong jersey sales may not directly impact Sanders' OROY potential or BetMGM's viewpoint on his chances, but they serve as an indicator of fan support, which can subtly impact public perception of a player's success potential. Ultimately, while Sanders has a tough road ahead due to his draft position and roster dynamics, his odds still place him amongst significant OROY contenders, although his actual chances revolve heavily on if he snags a starting role and delivers exceptional performance.
