Comeback Player of the Year

Jimmy Graham, TE, Seattle Seahawks 

When Jimmy Graham tore his Patellar tendon last year, his 2016 season was supposed to be destroyed. The injury takes a year to recover from, and then it takes more time to get 100% back to full speed.

That Graham was ready to play in Week 1 was downright remarkable, even if he was limited.  Graham started the season slowly as he worked himself back onto the field. Since then he’s been an almost unstoppable force for the Seahawks.

Graham is on pace for 1090 yards this season, which would be 2nd amongst all tight ends. For a guy that people think the Seahawks don’t know how to use, they’re getting tremendous production from their All-Pro.

Others deserving votes: DeMarco Murray, Andrew Luck
