The NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award is generally given to a player who has overcome injury to return to play at a very high level.
But it doesn't have to be.
The Arizona Cardinals' David Johnson should be a candidate for the award this season for overcoming bad coaching and scheme fits last season, according to Touchdown Wire's Doug Farrar.
The running back, who had a quiet 2018 (at least by his standards), could be in for a huge season this year under coach Kliff Kingsbury, Farrar wrote.
Farrar has Johnson among his nine NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award candidates for the upcoming season, writing that the dynamic back could see a return to his 2016 form.
