As an up man in the punter's meat-shield, Ebner took a direct snap for a good gain and converted a 4th & 9. Unfortunately that could be his last play of the season, because his knee buckled awkwardly without contact and he was down OOB in pain for a long time.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Tore his ACL Sunday.

NATE EBNER NAMED NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS' 2018 ED BLOCK COURAGE AWARD RECIPIENT

Former Ohio State special teams standout Nate Ebner was named Thursday as the New England Patriots' 2018 recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award, which honors NFL players "who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage."
A former walk-on for the Buckeyes, Ebner is now in his seventh season with the New England Patriots. After a torn ACL ended his 2017 season early, Ebner came back to lead the Patriots with 13 special teams tackles during the regular season this year.
Ebner's backstory is one that is filled with tragedy – his father, Jeff, was murdered in 2008, while Ebner was a sophomore at Ohio State, and shortly before Ebner joined the Buckeyes as a walk-on. Ebner has persevered through his personal pain and long odds as a walk-on, though, to establish himself as an NFL role player. Ebner is also a world-class rugby player who was a member of the inaugural U.S. Olympic rugby sevens team in 2016.
Ebner is one of three former Ohio State players to receive the Ed Block Courage Award for their respective NFL teams this year. Ryan Shazier was the Steelers' recipient of the award in November, while Jeff Heuerman was named the Broncos' recipient last week.

One player from every NFL team is selected an Ed Block Courage Award recipient, voted on by their teammates. Votes are cast anytime at the teams' discretion so long as it's turned in by March for the ceremony -- so many votes are still out.
THREE Buckeyes have claimed the award already this year: Ebner, Heuerman, and Shazier.
Pay it forward.

Still find it funny how Nate has had a longer NFL career than many of the best buckeyes in program history (Beanie,Troy, Pryor, etc...)
