Comeback Player of the Year criteria will emphasize overcoming injury, illness, adversity
Our Summary
The NFL Comeback Player of the Year award criteria have been clarified by the Associated Press to focus on players overcoming injury or illness, not just improving from a bad season. The change aims to honor resilience in the face of adversity. This adjustment could impact players like Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, Anthony Richardson, and Nick Chubb for the 2024 season. The decision was influenced by past winners like Geno Smith and Joe Flacco. The winner will be announced at the 2025 NFL Honors before the Super Bowl.
