Since its return in 1998 after a 31-year hiatus, the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award has been dominated by quarterbacks one year removed from a serious injury, as was the case again in 2021 as Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow became the fifth straight signal-caller to win.
Will another quarterback – i.e., Geno Smith – follow Burrow and extend the streak to six years? Smith is currently the co-favorite in NFL odds.
Here are updated NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds and public betting (as of Dec. 27):
