DALLAS (AP) – Michael Vick has won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.
After missing two seasons serving a federal sentence for dogfighting, then spending most of the previous year as a seldom-used backup in Philadelphia, Vick was back at his best. Taking over as starter in Week 2 after Kevin Kolb sustained a concussion, Vick ran and passed the Eagles to the NFC East title and a 10-6 record.
He also has displayed the kind of reformation away from the game that impressed a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. Vick receives 29 1/2 votes, easily beating Seattle receiver Mike Williams, who gets eight.
Vick is the third straight quarterback to win the award and seventh overall; Chad Pennington has won it twice.
