Wow! It’s unbelievable, but 2022 is right around the corner and I can’t wait to see who the NFL Comeback Player of the Year will be. Every year, a deserving player goes from obscurity to spotlight and it’s always an exciting time. This year will be no different.
I think the race for Comeback Player of the Year in 2022 is going to be an interesting one. So many players have shown potential and promise, so it will come down to who can have the biggest year. Guys like Todd Gurley, Marcus Mariota, Carson Wentz, and Josh Gordon are sure to be in the conversation, but I think there is one player in particular who has a chance to really turn some heads.
That player is Davante Adams. In 2021, he tore his ACL and was out for the better part of the season. However, I am confident he will make a full recovery and be one of the most dangerous playmakers in the game. Adams is a contested-catch wizard and one of the most electric players in the league. His return to form after such a devastating injury is going to make the 2022 season incredibly entertaining.
Most importantly though, I am confident that Adams’ journey back will be incredibly inspirational. His story is sure to inspire many people who have faced their own challenges. Adams will be a beacon of hope that no matter what injury or setback you face, you can still come back and accomplish your dreams.
The other thing to consider is that there are so many good players in the NFL, so just making it back and playing at a high level is going to be a huge accomplishment. Plenty of talented players have suffered the same injuries and never been the same again. An impressive comeback season from Adams will truly be admirable.
To be honest, I believe Adams can be the Comeback Player of the Year in 2022. His determination and passion for the game will help him defy all expectations and expectations and emerge victorious. It will be an exciting story to follow and regardless of the outcome, Adams’ return from injury will be an inspiration for years to come.
In the sections that follow, I’ll be exploring the other potential candidates for NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2022, including Todd Gurley, Marcus Mariota, Carson Wentz, and Josh Gordon. I’ll also be taking a look at some of the theoretical implications that would come with awarding the award to Davante Adams. Let’s dive in!
Fortunately, Todd Gurley had a better season in 2021 and can certainly be a contender for NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He suffered a knee injury in 2018 and was notoriously hindered since then. Now, Gurley is healthy again and ready to make a run at the award. He should have a great chance of winning the award if he has a good showing this season.
Marcus Mariota had a roller coaster year in 2021 and it will be interesting to see how he fares in 2022. He had to compete with Ryan Tannehill for the starting job last season and now has the full confidence of the coaching staff. If he plays to the level of his potential, he could be in contention for the comeback award.
Carson Wentz’s story also deserves a mention as he is another contender in the mix for 2022. After a tumultuous 2020 season, Wentz found himself the backup quarterback in 2021. But this season, he looks to be back in the starting role with a renewed sense of hope and energy. He will certainly be a player to watch in terms of NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
Finally, Josh Gordon is another candidate for the award. He has had a tumultuous past due to drug and alcohol abuse, but he is back on track and looking to re-establish himself in the league. He has already had some standout moments this season, so it will be interesting to see how he progresses over the course of the season.
In terms of implications, if Adams does win the award, it will certainly be an inspirational one. He will be proof that you can overcome any adversity no matter how large it may be. This will send a positive message to many of his fans and encourage them to never give up in the face of adversity.
It also will signify that the NFL is a league of second chances and that a player can always be rewarded for making the most of the opportunities provided to them.
In terms of the competition, it’s clear that the race for NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2022 will be a fiercely contested one. Gurley, Mariota, Wentz, Gordon, and Adams are all viable candidates and each one has a unique story and narrative behind their comeback. It will be exciting to watch them all compete and see who comes out on top.
As we get closer to the end of the season, I’m sure the momentum will start to build for Adams and the other candidates. It’s sure to be a thrilling race to the finish and I can’t wait to see which player will be crowned the NFL Comeback Player of the Year 2022.
