Chad Pennington Named NFL Comeback Player of the Year

For the second time in three years Chad Pennington has been named the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year, the first player to ever receive the award twice.

Pennington led his Miami Dolphins to a remarkable 11-5 regular season mark and the AFC East title one year after the club went 1-15. Along with the division title Pennington put the Dolphins in the playoffs and they will now host the Baltimore Ravens in the first round on Sunday.

While Pennington’s first Comeback Player of the Year award in 2006 came a year after he returned from two rotator cuff operations and put his New York Jets team in the playoffs. Pennington then had a rough 2007 campaign in which he was benched and appeared in just nine games while throwing 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The Jets then dropped Pennington in favor of Brett Favre and he ended up in Miami.

After starting the season 0-2 and then 2-4 Pennington rallied his Dolphins to a stunning finish to unseat the New England Patriots in the AFC East. The Dolphins victory over the Jets last Sunday wrapped up the division title and earned them a home-field game in their playoff match-up against the Ravens.

Pennington threw for a career-high 3653 yards while tossing 19 TDs and just 7 interceptions.

Pennington beat out Tennessee Titans quarterback Kerry Collins and Carolina Panthers QB Jake Delhomme.
