The Ed Block Courage Award is given out each year to one member of every NFL team and is awarded to the players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. The recipients of the award are selected solely by the vote of their teammates.

Former Bears defensive tackle Anthony Adams was presented with the honor last summer.

Urlacher is also a two-time winner of the Brian Piccolo Award.
