The 'NFL Comeback Player of the Year' winners

Ever since Andrew Luck abruptly retired just weeks before the start of the 2019 NFL season, there has been rampant speculation as to whether or not the former No. 1 overall pick would consider a comeback. According to recent comments by the man himself, he never wavered after making his decision but still feels indebted to the game to this day. 

“I have certainly realized I still love this game, and I want to have it integrated in my life," Luck said. "It’s just, it’s got to be different. Football gave me a lot. A lot. Most importantly, again, the relationships and the experiences with people that I loved. I think part of me feels, and I don’t mean this in a cheesy way, but part of me feels like, you know, it’s my turn to give back to this game.”

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Luck may not be interested in returning to the NFL, but he was once named AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year for the 2018 season. So, with that in mind, how many of the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award winners can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
