Logan Wilson Named Bengals' 2022 Ed Block Courage Award Winner

A well-deserved recognition for the Bengals' linebacker.
In this story:

Logan Wilson is the Bengals' 2022 Ed Block Courage Award recipient.

The award symbolizes professionalism, great strength, and dedication. Winners exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage, to go with work as a community role model.

"I am humbled and honored to be selected as the recipient of this prestigious award," said Wilson. "I take a lot of pride in representing the Bengals as best as I can, and in being a role model for my home state of Wyoming."

Wilson played through a labrum tear in his right shoulder during part of Cincinnati's 2021 regular season and throughout their Super Bowl run. He had surgery to repair the injury this past offseason.

"Logan is the ultimate professional and displayed the level of perseverance and courage that makes him the ideal recipient of this award," said Bengals Director of Sports Medicine/Head Athletic Trainer Matt Summers. "He battled through a shoulder injury during the 2021 season, but was still very productive on the field and led the defense in tackles and interceptions. Logan had offseason shoulder surgery, he was resilient in his rehab and has been a very productive leader on and off the field this year."

Wilson is a budding star in the NFL. The linebacker has career highs in total tackles (115) and sacks (2.5) this season. He also has 3 passes defensed, 1 interception and one forced fumble. 

The Ed Block Courage Award has become one of the most esteemed honors bestowed upon a player in the NFL and recipients are selected solely by a vote of their teammates. 

DJ Reader won the award last year for the Bengals.
