In July of 2009, Michael Vick was in federal prison. 18-and-a-half months and 12 NFL starts later, he is picking up hardware as the AP's Comeback Player of the Year.
He won the award after a season in which he set career highs in completion percentage, passing yards, passer rating, pass TD and rush TD. Vick's comeback award doesn't fit the same description as previous winners as his much-chronicled career has gone from 3-time Pro Bowler with the Atlanta Falcons to jail for running and unlawful interstate dog fighting ring and then back to the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles the last two seasons.
