Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington check in on the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year race. While just a few short weeks ago, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels looked to be running away with the award, Broncos signal caller Bo Nix has now started to assert himself into the conversation as he leads the surging Broncos. With their Vegas odds now nearly identical, Rob and Kelvin weigh in with their own thoughts on who should ultimately come away with the honor when it's all said and done.
Kelvin Washington: "What Bo Nix is doing on this recent run... 19 touchdowns to two interceptions, and he has his team 7-5 -- a team we had zero expectations for... I'll take either of [these guys] if I'm a team, but right now, Nix has edged [Jayden Daniels] out as his team is pointing up and Daniels' team is pointing down. It's neck and neck, but Bo Nix has edged him out just barely for me."
Rob Parker: "Nix has been great recently, but you've gotta look at the season as a whole and where they are, not just the last three games. I still think Daniels is in the lead -- you can't be a prisoner of the moment with his loss yesterday... He set records earlier in the year, and he's got a lot of other stuff on his side that he did earlier in the year."
