The Eagles voted Mike Vick their Ed Block Courage Award recipient for 2009.

The award is named after Ed Block, the late Baltimore trainer, and the winners are supposed to exemplify commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage.

Vick is the first Eagle to get the award after being suspended. He wasn't eligible to play until the third game as a condition of his reinstatement following an 18-month stint in federal prison for operating a notorious dogfighting ring.
