The NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award has historically been given to an offensive player. Only one defensive player, SS Eric Berry in 2015, has won the award over the last 14 years.
During that period, 10 of the 14 winners were quarterbacks, including the last four years. This award goes to players who have overcome adversity from the prior season and have the opportunity to outperform expectations.
Typically, this award also goes to the favorites listed on the market. Over the last eight years, no listed player has won at longer odds than +1000 (per sportsoddshistory.com). That said, below are three intriguing options that can buck the trend.
