Whether it's injuries or other circumstances, even some of the great players have down years.
Of course, part of makes someone great is how they respond to adversity.
Pro Football Weekly has given out the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award every year since 1972 with the exception of 1985. Twice, in 1986 and 2005, the award has been split between two players.
Many hall-of-famers and Super Bowl MVP's have won the award. Among them are Joe Namath, John Riggins, Joe Montana, and Marcus Allen.
Here are some facts about the award winners.
Only four times has a defensive player won the award.
Chad Pennington, last year's winner, is the only two-time winner.
Marshall University has been represented that past three seasons (Pennington and Randy Moss).
Without further ado, here are my top candidates for this year's winner.
