Comeback Player of the Year

Cowboys QB Cam Newton

Cam was a member of the historically awful Patriots S14 passing attack, and he was cut 4 games into it with a 23.1 passer rating and 263 yards, 0 TDs, and 7 INTs. He remained a free agent until the Cowboys picked him up as a playoff injury replacement, and he did well enough to help the Cowboys reach the Super Bowl. In what was a surprise by some, the Cowboys elected to re-sign Newton instead of future Hall of Famer Vince Young. It paid off as the 16th-highest paid QB finished third in the NFL in passer rating (86.6) as he became a QB, Off Player, and MVP candidate as he carried a Cowboys offense to finish 5th in points in spite of injuries and ineffectiveness at the HB position.

Steelers HB Christian McCaffrey

Another former first round pick castoff, McCaffrey was part of the S13 rookie HB class that has struggled with health, production, and effciency. He was benched four games into his sophomore campaign with the Wildcats after rushing for less than 3.5 YPC and had more fumbles than TDs. The Steelers picked him up in an offseason trade, and he finally showed glimpses of what made him a 1st round pick in rushing for 1787 yards (3rd in league) and 9 TDs while finally reaching the 4.0 YPC mark.

Dolphins RT Morgan Moses

His season was cut short after just five games as he saw the Dolphins fail to win a playoff game for the first time in his career. As the starters and depth around him along the OL fell victim to injuries, Moses stayed upright and was one of the league's best OL this season with 75 blocks against 6 sacks allowed, the blocks and 12.5 ratio both being career bests as he helped the Dolphins O remain balanced admist the turmoil, which ultimately resulted in a first round bye.

Vikings DT William Morrisey

After winning the Super Bowl, Morrisey didn't get a chance to help the Vikings defend the title as his season was lost during the preseason. In the final year of his contract, he showed the Vikings the he should be back for a 12th season with the team as his stats were near his peaks with 40 tackles, 8 sacks, and 2 FFs as the Vikings turned things around defensively as they came back from a 1-3 start to claim the NFC North.

Colts CB Brandon Browner

In a handful of starts before losing most of his season to injury, Browner gave the Colts 13 tackles and nothing else. The Colts decided to re-sign him over retaining Jason McCourty, and he responded by recording career highs in tackles (52) and INTs (5) while chipping in a sack and FR as he helped a team with the #32 offense remain competitive by helping to lead the defense to a #8 ranking.
