Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith is the odds-on favorite to be named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year, according to ESPN's David Purdum.
Smith is a -330 favorite in the FanDuel sportsbook, followed by Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and Patriots QB Cam Newton.
Smith was previously a long shot to win the award in most sportsbooks. But this past weekend, Smith made his first appearance in an NFL game since November 2018, coming in to replace Football Team starter Kyle Allen, who left the game due to an arm injury.
For the game, Smith was 9-of-17 for 37 yards.
