Each year each team in the NFL has their players select one of their own to be the their Ed Block Courage Award recipient. This year the Raiders award goes to Derek Carr.
The Ed Block Courage Award is presented to the player who exemplifies a commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage.
Additionally, the award recognizes a player’s efforts on and off the field, as well as their ability to overcome great adversity. The recipient is selected by a vote of his teammates.
Carr returned on time to offseason practices after having broken his fibula in week 16 of last season.
