The NFL announced its biggest player awards Thursday night at the NFL Honors ceremony. The Comeback Player of the Year was Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, the overwhelming winner. He received 31 of the 50 first-place votes, earning a total of 370 points. Running back J.K. Dobbins came in second with 195 points.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray also received votes. He finished 10th in voting with 21 points, receiving one second-place vote, two third-place votes, fourth fourth-place votes and a pair of fifth-place votes.
Murray played a full season and led the Cardinals to eight wins after coming back in 2023 from his ACL tear. He passed for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns with 11 interceptions in 2024, and he rushed for 572 yards and five scores.
Last year, he finished ninth in Comeback Player of the Year voting.
Coming off a healthy season in which he played pretty well, we should expect him to get exactly zero votes next year.
