Texans TE Brevin Jordan named Ed Block Courage Award winner

While Brevin Jordan didn't make an impact for the Houston Texans on the field in 2025, his efforts away from the sidelines have been noticed.

The Houston Texans' veteran tight end was named the team's Ed Block Courage Award winner. Recipients of the prestigious award are selected by a vote of their peers to recognize the superb efforts both on and off the field and their ability to overcome great adversity.

Jordan, who suffered a knee injury during Week 2's win over the Chicago Bears in 2024, returned for the team’s 2025 training camp. During the middle of training camp, he suffered another injury that required immediate season-ending surgery.

Although it served as a setback toward his long-term career, Jordan has remained a constant presence at NRG Stadium, spending each week around his teammates while maintaining a positive attitude and working diligently toward a return in 2026. A fifth-round pick out of Miami in the 2021 NFL Draft, Jordan has appeared in 36 games, totaling 53 receptions for 532 yards and five TDs.

“It means everything to me that my teammates voted for me to win this award,” Jordan said in a statement. “Coming back from an injury is a steady process, and I just take it day by day and embrace the journey. I love this city, I love this team, and I’m thankful to inspire others through my approach every day.”

The Ed Block Courage Award, established in 1984 and given to one player from every NFL team, honors players who exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. It has become one of the league’s most prestigious awards that a player can receive because it marks the only NFL award that is chosen solely by a vote of his peers.

This year’s winner will continue the annual tradition of traveling to Baltimore to receive their trophy at a gala in their honor and visit the Ed Block Courage House. The Ed Block Courage House is a facility that provides support and quality care for abused children and their families in the community. Block served as the longtime head athletic trainer for the former Baltimore Colts, and in addition to being a pioneer in athletic training, was passionate about causes that support children.
