Rodney McLeod is the Philadelphia Eagles’ recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award for the 2021 NFL season, according to a recent announcement from the team.
This annual award honors “those National Football League players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage” and is determined by a player vote.
It’s no surprise that McLeod, one of the Eagles’ team captains, is well-respected by his teammates. McLeod’s peers likely chose to honor him following his comeback from the ACL injury he suffered in December 2020.
McLeod wasn’t incredibly impactful on the field for the Eagles last season.
