Pennington named Comeback Player again (AP)

IN this Nov. 9, 2008 file photo, Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington, left, and running back Ronnie Brown, right, celebrate after he scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Seattle Seahawks during a football game in Miami. Pennington won The Associated Press 2008 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award on Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2008.  It's the second time in three years Pennington takes the honor. The other time came in 2006 with the New York Jets.

Chad Pennington had an instant impact when retrieved from the NFL scrap heap by a team desperate for direction, joining the Miami Dolphins shortly before their first preseason game. “Once we saw Chad come into our locker room, the atmosphere just felt different,” cornerback Andre Goodman recalled. “It’s kind of like you see a leader walk in and, `Ahhhhh.’ It felt like that savior moment.
