The 41st annual Ed Block Courage Award Foundation Gala was held over the weekend in Baltimore, Maryland. One player from each NFL team is invited, who is voted on by their teammates for their courage and inspiration throughout their season. Some past Falcons winners are LaRoy Reynolds (2017) and Adrian Clayborn (2016).
The Atlanta Falcons voted defensive tackle Jack Crawford as the 2018 recipient of the award. During his stay over the weekend, Jack participated in community outreaches with local at-risk youth and abused children. These events help inspire their peers to give back to their local communities, but more important they inspire the youth affected by such tragedies as abuse.
