Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers are frontrunners for the NFL Comebacker Player of the Year.
new starting quarterback, Kirk Cousins, has been the talk of the town this offseason. As he enters his 13th NFL season, the 35-year-old faces a challenge he has yet to face: recovering from a significant injury.
Initially in denial about the injury, he knew precisely what this injury meant – a long road to recovery. The team’s new captain has participated in all mandatory and voluntary activities this off-season. Despite pads not being applied until next month – ‘Captain Kirk’ has shown that he is more than ready for the upcoming season with no limitations.Pro Football Network states that 32 NFL organizations will each have a team Comeback Player of the Year candidate. The outlet“Lost for the season early on in Minnesota last year, Cousins enters his first season in Atlanta with plenty to prove,".
In a quarterback-driven league, the stars of the show will always get the first crack at an NFL award. Defensive tackle Grady Jarrett could also receive this award with a Pro Bowl-caliber season. Still, if he and his new quarterback play at a similar level, the nod will undoubtedly go to the quarterback.
Looking at the rest of the NFL landscape, the former Minnesota Viking is also a potential candidate for the NFL CPOTY, along with former five-year NFC North counterpart Aaron Rodgers.
