You may recall that Duane Brown suffered a season-ending injury last year when he tore his quadriceps during the regular season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He worked very hard through the recovery process in the off-season, and he returned to action during Week Five earlier this year against the Minnesota Vikings.
The Mothership is now reporting that Duane Brown has been deservedly voted as the recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award by his fellow Houston Texans.
From the write-up:
Recipients are selected by a vote of their teammates to recognize extra efforts both on and off the field and their ability to overcome great adversity.
