Growing up as a kid, Eric LeGrand dreamed of seeing himself on the cover
of Sports Illustrated. He could have never imagined it coming like
this, however. LeGrand, the former Rutgers defensive tackle, collided
with an Army player in October of 2010, suffering a spinal cord injury,
two fractured vertebrae and paralysis. Doctors thought he’d be on a
respirator the rest of his life.
Instead, LeGrand continues to amaze them. He’s been working in rehab and, on Oct. 29, was able to join his teammates on the field in a motorized wheelchair. That moment was named the best sports moment in 2011, an award that was voted on by fans, and a photo from that day graces the cover of Sports Illustrated this week.
