With his Achilles tendon torn and surgery ahead, Ma’ake Kemoeatu thought that perhaps his days in the NFL had come to an end.
Sixteen months after the injury and with a change of scene and lots of effort, he’s not only the Redskins’ starting nose tackle but an honored member of a select group.
The Redskins announced Thursday that Kemoeatu had been named the winner of the Ed Block Courage Award. Named for the long-time head athletic trainer of the Baltimore Colts, this award is given annually by each team to a player who displays extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. The winner is chosen by his teammates.
