The NFL Comeback Player of the Year for 2023 was Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco. However, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray did receive consideration.
As revealed by the Associated Press’ Josh Dubow, Murray received a single third-place vote for the award.
Murray came back from a disappointing 2022 season that ended with a torn ACL in December.
He returned to play in the final eight games of the season. He led the Cardinals to a 3-5 record with two fourth-quarter comebacks and two game-winning drives.
His overall stats were pretty average to above average with 10 touchdown passes and five interceptions in eight games, averaging 224.9 passing yards per game, but he had a passer rating of 108.3 with six touchdown passes to only one pick over the final three games of the season.
