Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry should be a prime candidate to win the NFL’s annual Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2019 after tearing his ACL in OTAs last May. It was a devastating loss for the team, though it did its best to mask his absence.
The emergence of Mike Williams helped tremendously.
Going forward, the idea of having Keenan Allen, Williams and a healthy Henry on the field at the same time is tantalizing and come Week 1, the Bolts will be ready to unleash that upon the league.
With Henry missing the entire regular season and only appearing in the playoff loss to the New England Patriots, where he clearly wasn’t part of the game plan, Henry will be in line to be the league’s top comeback story.
