Sadness and good, bad.
Remember who Eric LeGrand is? Here is a quick refresher. LeGrand is a former defensive tackle from Rutgers University who was severely injured in a game against Army on October 16, 2010 that left him paralyzed. LeGrand was always a class act. Sometimes the worst things happen to the best people. Though only 21-years-old, LeGrand took the paralysis as a challenge, not as the end of the world. LeGrand never let the severe injuries get in the way of his dreams. It is very fitting that on the date 5/2, LeGrand, who sported the number 52 at Rutgers, realized his dream. Most college football players across the country can only imagine playing in the NFL. Very few get the opportunity. Yesterday, former Rutgers coach and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano helped LeGrand reach his dream.
