10 Greatest Comeback Players In NFL History 

they should call this the “Alex Smith Award”

“Peyton Manning is the only player to win super bowls with multiple teams” Tom Brady has entered the chat

i love alex smith because im a chiefs fan and he was an inspiring chiefs player. no matter how much he got down he always got up. seeing him recover from basically a threat like cancer i'm so proud of him.

They should change the award name to “Alex Smith of the year”

Thank God for Alex Smith's recovery

It amazes me that a man can fight for his life, and just a year or two later be playing in NFL. And not only play in it, but honestly do pretty decent in it.

Ay yo where the other voice be at

I wish Sean Taylor was able to be here😔

Day 6 of asking for “How good was Patrick Willis Actually?”

I guess getting shot in one leg, getting hit with grenade shrapnel in the other leg, losing part of a foot, and then winning 4 Super Bowls isn't quite as impressive as coming back from a dogfighting conviction. Shout out to Pittsburgh Steelers' #26/20 Rocky Bleier for the effort anyways.

Alex smith brought us to the promised after all of that... He is now my favorite QB.

To the person who sees this i hope your day was good and if it wasn't i hope it will get better!

Is he a different person or is it me

As a chiefs fan seeing Alex smith come back from that injury was miraculous really something out of a movie

They should rename the comeblack player of the year to The Alex Smith Award

Nonstop the goat RU-vid page

We don’t want this other narrating voice we want the deep god like voice

Gotta cheer for Smith. I remember seeing that game with a co-worker who was a skins fan and I turned to him right at the moment he got sacked and said Smith’s career literally just ended before our eyes. I’m happy for him and that he proved me wrong.

How about Randall Cunningham? After his MVP season in 1990, injuries destroyed his career until retiring after a 1995 injury. He returned in 1997 and showed flashes of brilliance. In 1998, he took over Brad Johnson and led the new age Vikings to have the greatest offense yet, and became a 1st Team All-Pro.

I also had hotchkins lymphoma! Happy to see Berry overcome it!

Pretty sure earl morall won a Super Bowl with 2 different teams way before Peyton did though

This is good content

i miss alex smith. i wish he wouldn't have retired. he turned around 3 losing teams and got zero credit for it. especially from the fans of those teams. they didn't deserve you alex. can't wait to see your next idea put into action =)

I remember the game that Alex Smith got injured, it rly hit me 😭😭😭😭

AP’s 2012 season was both incredible and improbable!

Awesome

Commenting before watching, if Big Ben isn’t on here, I riot

Keanu Neal had 2 straight season ending injuries and came back and had a pro bow type season with over 100 tackles and an interception and a sack with 9 TFL’s

Earl morrall the greatest backup quarterback ever Nick Foles: and i took that personally

Stefon diggs was a star for minnesota but this year he was just something else

What a game for foles

Also Doug Flutie played for the Bears after the USFL and before the Pats. I think a runner up player would be Tommy Maddox because he was drafted into the NFL in 1992 but bounced around a few teams and he played a little more than Kurt Warner who really didn't get chance but should have gotten one but Maddox struggled and didn't play very good and then was cut in 1997 and after that he sold insurance until 1999 when he got a call from the New Jersey Red Dogs of the Arena league where he did very well and then was signed into the 1st version of the XFL in 2001 and won the championship and MVP and then Signed with the Steelers in 2001 as a backup and became the starter in 2002 and won comeback player of the year.

Great video but where is Tedy Bruschi? He suffered a stroke in 2005 and just eight months later, he was playing again.

They better make a freaking movie about Smith's recovery

Cooper Manning Did Not have a "neck injury". He was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis his Freshman year at Ole Miss.

We'll always love you in KC EB

No.1 lamar jackson coming back in the 4th quarter from cramps😎

Alex Smith is the definition of a stellar man. On and off the field.

Eyyy Jordy what up dude

You could do greatest comeback coaches and do Ron rivera

Tbh some of these are underdog stories

I cant wait to see the kurt Warner Netflix film looks good.

Watched Earl Morrell when he was with the Giants!!! 2022

You can't come back if you were never there to begin with, so Kurt Warner's stint with the Rams doesn't belong on this list. However, you could make a very strong case for his stint with the Cardinals.

Peyton had supernatural help coming back from that neck injury

day one of asking for most feared players in nfl history

Earl seems like a great guy

wish RG3 was in this really wish he had a come back story

I hope cam will be on this list next year

Video idea: how good was bo Jackson actually or Walter Payton

No love for Thomas Davis? Came back after three(!!) ACL tears. Also played in a Super Bowl with a broken arm

God bless everyone and have a good day

Kurt Warner better be on this list

Wait a second ... We have been bamboozled

QB Shawn Matthew Buren who played for the Sacramento Hornet's from 1992 to 1994 started his freshman Sophomore and Junior Season's but he was placed on IR for his entire Senior year do to a Season ending injury Wich he suffered in the Hornets 2nd Pre - Season Game ,then entering the NFL at all most 6 feet 7 inches tall at 231pounds he ran a 4.45 in the 40 yard dash and was Left Handed a Southpaw Drafted in the 7th round in 1994 by the Seattle Seahawks he was only there for 1 Season on the Practice Squad then traded to the 48ers he out played everyone in Practice he was in San Francisco for 5 season never being activated teams were wanting him then he got traded to the Dolphins the next 8 Seasons on the Dolphins Practice Squad all those years he new every playbook on every Team within 2 weeks he out shined every QB in Practice ,but there was 1 problem he kept getting traded to Teams that had Joe Montana Steve Young and Brett Farve and at the time the Hawks had Rick Meyer Wich everyone thought he was the next great Quarterback ,so that 1 problem was he went to Teams that were absolutely set at the QB potion Shawn Buren number 11 would've been a Elite QB for years ,he just never got his Shot to bad Shawn at the time if he went to say the Jets Cardinals Chargers Teams like that he would've at least been the 2nd String QB then no doubt would've became a Starting QB for one of those Teams that needed a Franchise QB he would've gotten his chance I know it doesn't happen a lot ,but I'm sure right now in 2022 there's probably a few players on the Practice Squad that could be a Elite Player ,but will never get the chance to start in a NFL game b t w having a QB like SMB at 6 feet 7 inches tall running a 4.45 in the 40 yard dash was unheard of in the mid 1990s Quarterback it's kinda crazy being on a Practice Squad Player in the NFL for 12 year's and that's it never getting his chance but his last 2 Season's he was paid 1.2 millon dollars each of those 2 Season's kind of crazy getting paid 2.4 millon dollars just being a Practice Player ,I believe his other 10 years Shawn made 250K a few years and a couple other years making around 550K at least he left the NFL not Broke hopefully Comeback player kinda hard to become one if U are never given a chance to play Lol

fun fact my grandfather works for the company that fixed Alex Smiths leg but also met him through zoom

Right now Doug Flutie has the second most franchise yards in CFL next to bo Levi Mitchell

You know it’s about drive it’s about power

I still can't beleive alex smith came back

Garrison Hearst broke his ankle to the point where the toes were pointing in the opposite direction and missed two full seasons and came back to have a really good season in 01. Becoming comeback player of the year that year.

In my opinion warren moon is the best CFL player of all time. He won 5 rings in 5 seasons

peyton manning’s poor neck

we need an update list with geno smith and eventually damar hamlin

i got this for school lol

Where’s the guy with the deep voice

Nothing could flex on Wentz more than Foles winning SB MVP

The Greatest Player in CFL history is WARREN MOON

The Ravens/Redskins rivalry is like no other it is the single greatest rivalry in all of sports

Did even watch 10 sec of the vid and I know #1 is Alex smith

Ik this was before his career began, but James Connor was diagnosed with cancer and told he may never play again. Though his career isn’t going great, it’s still and underdog story for the ages.

Day 1 of asking for “How good was Ryan Shazier” that would be could speaking for his story

1:49 Peyton Manning won comeback player of the year in 2012, not Peterson

AP playing with the Titans right now

Day 4 of asking to do the story of stefon diggs

They should put Ron Rivera in here.

Crazy to believe that Nick Foles was on the Cheifs!

Hey where’s the dude with the Batman voice

Pretty good list but shouldn't kurt warner be on here twice bc of his run with the Cardinals?

You forgot about Warner's second come back with the Arizona Cardinals.

GO NICK FOLES wish he was still with the eagles

Hopefullyn Rashaad Penny can make this list in the future

Nonstop Sports: “Adrian Peterson is inhuman” His hospitalized child: “So true lmaooo😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣”

I’m 5 foot 10 and I met Doug Flutie he is 5 foot 7.

Can you do the NBA version once Klay Thompson returns? 🙏

I see michal Vick in video: boo!!!

Is it just me or did the voice cover change?

Yes sirrr

Deep Voice shoulda been doing this video

AP also tore lcl during college so he should be 1

Joe Burrow 2022

Bruh. You're story on Nick Foles is wrong. Foles was contemplating retirement then Andy Reid says come play with me he did for 2 games played good. Then he signed with the eagles and then won the super bowl

Earl Moore second best backup

Yo ray lewis

*Berry Strong*

Soon dak gunna be in one of these

Who else saw the basckball back round

where’s the pop smoke voice

Redskins injured AP and Peyton Manning

Rocky Blier? blown up in Vietnam?

I hate it how Eric berry wasn’t apart of that Chiefs super bowl team.
