The Pro Football Writers of America have named Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry as their 2015 Comeback Player of the Year.

Berry came back from a cancer diagnosis in November of 2014 and after starting chemotherapy treatments in December, returned to the football field less than a year later to help lead the Chiefs to a franchise-record 11-game winning streak and their first playoff win in more than 22 years.

Berry finished the season with 61 tackles, 2 interceptions and 10 passes defensed and served as the vocal leader for a defense that allowed just 11.8 points per game throughout its winning streak.

His story continues to be the best in the NFL this season.
