Yep, I put a small $ on ZT to win COTY last year on upside.  The problem was, he wasn't on anyone's radar in the regular season and it is a regular season award.  If it was including the playoffs, ZT would have won COTY and Burrow would have been MVP.

Your point about Vrabel is spot on.  They made a deep run in 2020 and that got him the attention.

I still can't believe Staley is +1500 and ZT is +3300.  Amazing.
