As of Tuesday afternoon, former LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. has become the betting favorite to be drafted third by the Houston Texans at +300.

Check out the latest comprehensive and most trusted Sportsbook Reviews by SBR here.

As of Monday, Stingley Jr. was +550 at Caesars and +600 at FanDuel and DraftKings sportsbooks, signifying sharp movement in his odds. 

Stingley Jr. was sensational in his rookie year at LSU in 2019 when he caught six interceptions. Since then, injuries have hampered his playmaking abilities on the field. 

However, he would change the narrative at his Pro Day this spring, registering a 4.37 40-yard dash and a vertical jump of 38.5 inches - proving that he is healthy and a dynamic talent with tremendous upside. 

Though he has taken over as the betting favorite in this slot, it's a tight race, as four other players are favored closely behind him.
