..."I just think it will be very satisfying to him considering the situation that he was in at the end of last season," said backup quarterback Doug Flutie, who won the first AP Comeback Player award in 1998. "Redemption, a feeling of accomplishment, all that. Just that it's showing a lot of resolve and bouncing back up off the floor and taking the shots and jumping back in and going after it."
