Two NFL Rookies Call Off $10,000 Bet on Offensive Rookie of the Year Award
In a surprising turn of events, Jayden Daniels and Malik Nabers, two promising NFL rookies, have decided to call off a $10,000 bet on who would win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. The bet, which became public knowledge after Daniels mentioned it during an interview on a podcast, was intended as a friendly competition between teammates.
However, both players were informed of the NFL’s strict policy against gambling within the past 24 hours and chose to comply with the league’s rules. Players are prohibited from betting on anything involving the NFL, including making bets with other players.
Nabers, who was recently drafted by the Giants, stated that while the bet was meant in good spirits, they did not want to risk violating the NFL’s policy. Both rookies are considered top six favorites in preseason odds for the Rookie of the Year award.
However, Daniels may face tough competition for the starting quarterback job in Washington, which could affect his chances of winning the accolade. The two rookies are set to face each other twice in 2024, as Daniels plays for the Commanders and Nabers for the Giants.
It’s clear that both players are focused on making a name for themselves in the NFL and understand the importance of following the league’s rules. As they gear up for their rookie season, fans will be watching closely to see which of these talented athletes will come out on top.
