In a vote by his teammates, New Orleans Saints TE Foster Moreau has been named the club’s 2023 Ed Block Courage Award winner, which is given annually to a player from each National Football League team that has persevered through adversity. Moreau’s teammates voted him as the club’s winner based on his work ethic and perseverance through a battle with cancer before signing with the team.
A New Orleans native, who was a football and basketball standout at Jesuit High School and a four-year letterman at tight end at LSU (2015-18), Moreau was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fourth round (137th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. Moreau spent his first four NFL seasons with the Raiders, where he played in 61 games with 34 starts and recorded 91 receptions for 1,107 yards (12.2 avg.) with 12 touchdowns.
On May 10, the day after Moreau’s final treatment, he agreed to terms with the Saints on a multi-year contract with the expectation and belief that he would be able to play for the team in 2023 without restrictions. Moreau immediately joined the team’s offseason strength and conditioning program and participated in all OTAs, veteran’s minicamp and training camp practices.
