Flutie is named Comeback Player of the Year The Associated Press (Jan. 7, 1999) -- For anyone wondering where Doug Flutie went, he answered so emphatically in his return to the NFL that he was honored as The Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Flutie, who won the Heisman Trophy in college and six most outstanding player awards in Canada, was selected Thursday as the first winner of the award. Two other quarterbacks who revitalized their careers, Randall Cunningham of Minnesota and Vinny Testaverde of the New York Jets, were next with six and five votes, respectively. Cunningham was retired and laying tile just two years ago. Testaverde, a Pro Bowler in 1996, was cut by Baltimore after a mediocre 1997 season. Flutie, signed as a free agent to back up Rob Johnson, became a starter in the sixth game of the season after Johnson went down with a rib injury. He replaced Johnson early in a victory over Indianapolis and led the Bills to a 10-6 record and a wild-card playoff berth after they started the season 0-3. Along the way, he captured the imagination of a nation with his scrambling style, innovative performances and ability to lead his team back from the depths.
