2019 NFL Defensive ROY Odds: Nick Bosa, Josh Allen, Devin White Favored

Three years after Joey Bosa won Defensive Rookie of the Year, oddsmakers are expecting his brother to do the same.

Nick Bosa is the favorite to win the 2019 award, with FanDuel listing him at +600 (bet $100 to win $600). In what's shaping up to be a tight race, Josh Allen (+700), Devin White (+700) and Devin Bush (+750) followed closely behind.

Nick Bosa recorded 17.5 sacks and 29 tackles for loss in 29 games with Ohio State before a core muscle injury ended his 2018 season.

When it comes to preparation for his first year in the NFL, he has a leg up on his older brother. Joey Bosa and the San Diego Chargers had a protracted contract dispute, so he didn't sign his rookie deal until late August and thus lost valuable practice time.

Nick, on the other hand, got his contract with the Niners completed before the start of their training camp July 26.

When it comes to the Defensive Rookie of the Year race, Bosa and Allen have a slight advantage as pass-rushers. If they're constantly getting free off the edge and harassing quarterbacks, their impact on games will be easy to ascertain.

Darius Leonard's win last year may give White and Bush some hope, though. Leonard led the NFL in tackles (163) and added seven sacks and two interceptions. Considering they'll occupy similar roles as Leonard does with the Indianapolis Colts, White and Bush each have the opportunity to make the same mark in their debut seasons.
