Jon Kitna's whole career has been about comebacks. Written off in college, he made it to the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He led Seattle to the playoffs, only to lose his job. He came to Cincinnati as a starter and lost his job again. Now, he has pulled off the most unexpected comeback of all.
With a Heisman Trophy winner waiting to take his job, Kitna led the Bengals to a long-awaited resurgence, keeping Cincinnati in contention until the final game.
On Friday, he was honored as The Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
