Peyton Manning wins Comeback Player of the Year

February 3, 2013 – D1 Chattanooga, Knoxville & Nashville co-owner, Peyton Manning, walked away with some hardware Saturday night.

A year ago, Peyton Manning didn’t know if he would ever play again. Now he’s the 2012 Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

The Denver Broncos quarterback won the award Saturday night at “NFL Honors,” edging Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Manning sat out the entire 2011 season with neck problems that took four different surgeries to correct and led to the end of his 14-season run with the Indianapolis Colts. He signed with the Broncos in March and put together one of the best statistical seasons of his NFL career.
