Comeback Player of the Year

Broncos QB A.J. McCarron

Among all qualifed passers last season, McCarron was second-to-last in passer rating (60.7). The former 1st round pick and apparent heir to the Michael Vick appeared to be on his way to being a draft bust, and there were rumblings that the Broncos might draft a QB with either of their 1st round picks. McCarron responded by finishing 9th in the league in passer rating (82.4), 2nd in completion % (64.4), and significantly shaving his INT% (5.4 to 3.3) en route to help getting the Broncos back into the playoffs for the first time since S10.

Bills G Phil Loadholt

Signed to a multi-year deal shortly before the end to S12, he provided the Bills with 4 blocks against 3 sacks allowed then missed the entire S13 season as the Bills remained one of the worst teams in the league. In the final year of his deal, Loadholt finally delivered by giving his finest performance yet as his 58 blocks vs 6 sacks allowed were a career best ratio and helped bring the Bills offense to league average and a non-losing record.

Bengals DT Mike Daniels

The former #3 overall pick had just 11 career sacks in three seasons, which included a single one in S12 when he missed half of the year due to injury. The Bengals may not have made the playoffs, but Daniels provided the Bengals with 12 sacks and helped the defense finish 14th in the league as the Bengals enginereed a four-win improvement from last season.

Hawks OLB Koa Misi

Misi played just four games last season and it resulted in just 12 tackles and nothing else. In what was expected to be a rebuilding year as the team transitioned from Washington D.C. to Portland with severely less talent, Misi and his career highs of 113 tackles and 3 INTs (to go along with 2 sacks, 2 FFs, and 2 FRs) helped the defense finish in the Top 10 and propelled the team to an 11-5 record.

Jags CB Tracy Porter

The oldest CB by six years on the team, Porter appeared to be done as he floundered as the #2 CB last season for the league's worst pass defense. With the team drafting another corner early, Porter was moved to the slot where he became a prolific tackling machine from a non-core special teamer. His 112 tackles were only seven fewer than what he put up in the previous three seasons combined and also chipped in some INTs and FRs for good measure as the Jags pass D improved their ranking by double digits.
