Ryan Shazier has been voted the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2018 winner of the Ed Block Courage Award, an award given to the player who has overcome the most obstacles in their life over the past year.
Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley has a wonderful write up of Shazier’s selection, an obvious one, given his remarkable recovery after being paralyzed a little less than a year ago after making a tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“It really means a lot just to know guys understand I have been going through a lot and I continue to push through it,” Shazier said, via Varley and the team site.
