Redskins tight end Niles Paul was named the team's Ed Block Courage Award winner after coming back healthy from a gruesome ankle injury.
On March 6, 2015, the Washington Redskins rewarded tight end Niles Paul with a new contract off his rookie deal that was signed in 2011.
While Paul originally joined the Redskins as a wide receiver, the Nebraska product converted to tight end for the 2012 season.
It certainly was a difficult transition, putting on weight and bulking up to stop pass rushers at the line, but Paul’s growth was steady.
