Every year, every NFL team nominates players for both the Walter Payton Man of the Year and Ed Block Courage Award. This year the Cleveland Browns nominated Joel Bitonio as their Walter Payton Man of the Year for his work both on and off the field. Today, the Browns have voted on their Ed Block Courage Award winner as well. Right Tackle Jack Conklin has received the Browns’ Ed Block Courage Award for fighting back from his injuries to be a significant contributor to the team this season.

The award goes to an individual based on courage, compassion, commitment, and community. Conklin had this to say after receiving the news:
