2019 NFL Most Rookie Receiving Yards Odds

*Odds taken April 30, 2019

Brown was the best of three last season. He gained 1,318 yards on the other end of aerials delievered by Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray, while playing for the Oklahoma Sooners.

Brown Was Hungry for This

If you like feel-good stories, then you like Brown. In 2016, while attending College of the Canyons, a public community college in Santa Clarita, California, Brown was also working a job at Six Flags to make ends meet. He relied on his coach to provide him with food.

Marquise Brown on his emotional draft: "Three years ago, I had no food, I had no offers, I had nothing. I was out there working at Six Flags, working my tail off to just pay for my rent and for school. … For me to get drafted in the first round, it just means a lot to me."

Today, he’s a first-round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens. Brown has also enjoyed the benefit of catching passes from Heisman Trophy winners and NFL first-overall draft picks in successive years – Baker Mayfield and Murray.

The NFL Network is already touting Brown as the favorite to be the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year. No Ravens player has ever won that award.

He is Deebo

Samuel, selected 36th overall by the San Francisco 49ers, went for career-highs in receptions (62) and yardage (882) last season with the South Carolina Gamecocks.

At 5-foot-11 and 214 pounds, Samuel isn’t a diva wideout. He can run past defenders but he’s just as willing to run over them to get a few extra yards, and doesn’t mind taking a hit to make a play.

Deebo Samuel runs the slant as well as anyone!
Here is a compilation of him dominating the route with insane yards after the catch. Expect to see a bunch of this with the 49ers.#Deebo #DeeboSamuel #49ers@49ersHub pic.twitter.com/0YlZawA8MR

His physical nature, combined with tremendous talent, enable him to gain significant yardage after he catches the ball.

Dirty Harry

Going to the New England Patriots with the final pick of the first round, Harry, like Samuel, is considered a beast to bring down after he gets his hands on the ball.

He went for 1,088 yards on 73 receptions last season at Arizona State.

Hey @Patriots fans – your new WR N'Keal Harry can make catches like THIS 😳 pic.twitter.com/IcTDGtbuZc

Harry’s skillset has been compared to fellow Patriots’ wideout Josh Gordon, but without all of Gordon’s baggage.

What’s the Catch?

If you go based solely on last season’s numbers, Brown’s the guy. But we like Samuel.

The deep Patriots can afford to break Harry in slowly. You have to wonder how often the generally conservative Ravens, 22nd in passing yardage last season, will target Brown.

With a healthy Jimmy Garappolo at QB, the 49ers figure to air it out and Samuel should benefit from that philosophy.
