Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has won the 2019 George Halas Award by the Professional Football Writers of America.Shazier James Conner Jersey , the 51st Halas Award winner, is the third Steeler to receive the honor from the PFWA, joining Rocky Bleier (1975) and John Stallworth (1985). He is making progress from a spinal contusion suffered in the 2017 season while making a tackle and has not played since.The Halas Award is given to an NFL player, coach or staff member who overcomes the most adversity to succeed. The award is named for Halas, a charter member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who was associated with the Chicago Bears and NFL from their inception in 1920 until his death in 1983 as an owner, manager, player and promoter.“In my 35 years covering the Steelers, I’ve seen many players overcome much adversity, but never have I seen such determination by a player to overcome what Ryan has and to reach a point, physically and mentally, where he is,” said Ed Bouchette, a PFWA voter. “It’s unbelievable how teammates talk about how he has inspired them. (Steelers VP/general manager) Kevin Colbert and (coach) Mike Tomlin have spoken many times about what he has meant to the organization https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey , the front office and the players. He has been one big inspiration.“He’s going to all the meetings, watching film, breaking down opponents, going in with the scouts to watch stuff, looking at prospects at draft time, and he’s on the field every day. He’s made remarkable recovery from an injury where many of us believed he wouldn’t be able to.“He’s an inspiration to fans as well. His first public appearance was at a Steelers home game. They showed him on the Jumbotron, and the ovation was incredible. Same thing at a Penguins game. At the NFL draft, he walked without help publicly for the first time. He’s been a tremendous inspiration all the way around.”Shazier was drafted by the Steelers in the first round in 2014. In Week 13 of the 2017 season against Cincinnati, Shazier attempted a head-first tackle, and after the play, reached for his back and could not move his legs. He underwent spinal stabilization surgery several days after his injury.He has refused to give up on playing again.Other 2019 nominees were Steelers running back James Conner; New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman; recently retired Houston Texans safety Andre Hal; and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.

Pavely-USA TODAY SportsThe 2019 NFL Draft has officially concluded, and with all 32 teams moving onto 2019 with their fresh crop of draft picks and Undrafted Free Agents, there are still some questions lingering from 2018 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.But let’s back up a second.After the drama surrounding Le’Veon Bell’s no-show and Antonio Brown forcing his way out of Pittsburgh, the Steelers stayed silent. Mike Tomlin didn’t call a press conference while being thrown under the bus, and Ben Roethlisberger didn’t take to the airwaves while is name and stature was being tarnished.They stayed quiet. But the time to answer questions was coming. In typical Mike Tomlin fashion, he dodged questions like a pro at the NFL Owner’s Meetings, and even in his pre-draft press conferences, but every now and then Tomlin will give the fan base a little bit of meat to chew on. He did so while talking to ESPN’s Trey Wingo after the draft. When Tomlin was asked about the departure of both Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, his response was candid. “”There is something to be said about having less drama, less antics and less turmoil surrounding your team. Even if you lose two All-Pro talents, could the team actually improve as a team without them? You know, the classic addition-by-subtraction theory?Unfortunately Terrell Edmunds Jersey White , that answer won’t be known until the 2019 version of the Pittsburgh Steelers takes the field and a new core of players attempt to write their own story — one without Brown and Bell. Will James Conner continue on his upward trajectory and prove Bell is more than replaceable? Will a combination of Donte Moncrief, James Washington, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Vance McDonald, Diontae Johnson and Ryan Switzer prove they can, as a group, pick up the slack left by Brown as he jettisoned to the Raiders?Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure...I don’t think Mike Tomlin will miss No. 26 and No. 84, and all that surrounded those two players, in 2019 and beyond.
