The NFL Comeback Player of the Year award has been handed out consistently since 1998. The AP did hand out an award from 1963-1966, but awarded one to the AFL and one to the NFL. The award often goes to a player who has returned from some serious injury and performed well, but that has not been the case the past two seasons. This has actually led to the NFL sending a memo to voters to remind them of the spirit of the award, which is to honor a player who has overcome illness or physical injury, causing them to miss time the previous season. This should certainly change the way bettors think when risking their money on this market.
The 2024-25 NFL Comeback Player of the Year odds opened in mid-May. You can see the latest NFL CPOY odds below as well as how the odds have changed throughout the 2024-25 NFL season.
NFL Comeback Player of the Year Odds
After taking just three snaps in his first season as a New York Jet last year, thanks to a torn Achilles, Aaron Rodgers has opened as the favorite to win the 2024-25 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. Rodgers will be returning to a Jets roster that has prioritized adding help on the offensive line this offseason, and projects to be major contenders in not just the AFC East, but the conference as a whole.

Rodgers will face stiff competition for the award, though, as there were a number of star players, especially star QBs, who saw their previous seasons cut short due to injury. Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Anthony Richardson are three other quarterbacks who missed significant time with injuries – you could throw Daniel Jones’ name in that hat if you use the word “star” loosely.

NFL Comeback Player of the Year Trends
- A quarterback has won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in each of the last six seasons
- Eight of the last ten NFL CPOY winners missed at least five games due to injury the prior season—Joe Flacco and Geno Smith winning the award the past two seasons allowed them to join Philip Rivers as the only players since 2013 to win it without getting hurt the year prior
- No defensive player has won the award since Eric Berry in 2015
- Since the award came back in 1998, we have seen 17 quarterbacks win, 2.5 wide receivers, 4.5 defensive players, one running back, and one tight end – the halves are there because the award was split between Steve Smith (WR) and Tedy Bruschi (LB) in 2005
