Sam Darnold Might Win Comeback Player of the Year After All
Christopher Gates has been the lead writer at The Daily Norseman since the site launched in July of 2006, covering the Minnesota Vikings day in and day out.
Sam Darnold, despite what he’s done for the Minnesota Vikings, likely won’t get so much as a vote in the NFL Most Valuable Player balloting for this year. However, it’s now possible that he could end up winning an award that it was previously thought he was ineligible for.
Today, the Associated Press (as reported by Pro Football Talk) said that any votes its members cast for Darnold for the Comeback Player of the Year Award would not be rejected, despite the AP revising the criteria for the award some time ago.
