Five rookie quarterbacks will be making their NFL regular season debuts on Sunday. Which rookie will throw for the most yards? The betting favorite is number one overall pick Andrew Luck of the Indianapolis Colts. After that, it’s between the second overall pick, Robert Griffin III of the Washington Redskins, and third-round pick Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks.
Two other first rounders, Miami’s Ryan Tannehill and Cleveland’s Brandon Weeden are also in the mix.
For what it’s worth, Wilson threw for the most yards of the five in the preseason. RGIII takes over the team that averaged the most passing yards last season, while Luck’s Colts averaged the least passing yards last season. RGIII and Luck both face teams that allowed a lot of passing yards last season, while Tannehill faces the defense that allowed the least passing yards last season. Below, we have the odds as well as a complete breakdown of opponents, preseason stats and last year’s team stats.
