Comeback Player of the Year: OLB Robert Mathis

Despite missing all of 2014 with a torn Achilles, Robert Mathis once again had a very productive season pass rushing for the Colts.

The 34 year old suffered numerous setbacks and underwent multiple surgeries in his prior rehabilitation, but managed to have 7 sacks for the Colts this past season along with 20 QB hurries and 8 QB hits. Not to mention, he also recorded 20 tackles and a forced fumble in 15 games.

The 13 year veteran remains a very formidable pass rusher for the Colts and continues to add to his franchise all-time best career sack total of 118 career sacks.
