Ricky's story about how he was once the best RB in the NFL and retired, then came back and is absolutely killing it right now is what should make him the winner for this, Tom Brady came back from an injury, but is not playing up to the level he left off at, so I'd say he's overrated at #1, and Cedric Benson was never any good in the NFL, so what is it he's coming back from? this shouldn't even be an argument, if Ricky Williams doesn't win the NFL Comeback Player of the Year... well... well I'd be a little upset. I'm sure Ricky wouldn't think much of it if he didn't get it, but seriously... the man deserves it, look at his career, and his story in the NFL. No other player in the History of the NFL can match up to Ricky's story.
