This accolade follows his remarkable recovery from a wrist injury that sidelined him for the latter part of the 2023 season. In the 2024 season, Burrow showcased exceptional performance, leading the NFL with 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdown passes, while maintaining a 70.6% completion rate.
Despite his outstanding achievements, Burrow expressed mixed feelings about receiving the Comeback Player of the Year Award again. He remarked, “I wouldn’t say this is necessarily an award you want to be nominated for two times.” This comment underscores the challenges and setbacks that necessitate such a comeback, highlighting the resilience required to return to peak performance.
Burrow’s previous experience with the Comeback Player of the Year Award was in 2021, following his recovery from a torn ACL and MCL. His ability to overcome significant injuries and return to elite form has solidified his reputation as a resilient and dedicated athlete. His consistent performance and leadership have been instrumental in the Bengals’ success, and this award further cements his status as a key figure in the NFL.
