Send A Get Well Message To Eric LeGrand After His Horrific Injury
↵Football is a violent game, but in general, the carnage is confined to broken bones and torn ligaments--the sort of things that people can recover from. Occasionally, though, there’s that worst case scenario, and a football game changes someone’s life. Not just their career, but the whole rest of their life.

And while it's too early to tell whether that's the case with Eric LeGrand of Rutgers, it's never a good sign to hear the words "spinal cord" and "paralysis" when talking about an injury. He was carted off the field during Saturday's game with Army, and the long-term prognosis for recovery remains a mystery. For now, "Eric's spirits were as good as you can expect," said Rutgers coach Greg Schiano. "He's a fighter."
↵Nobody deserves football’s worst-case scenario, least of all someone as beloved as LeGrand:
↵↵“Eric is a big, strong, nice guy, who when he hits the field, always comes to the facility with great energy. A guy who really loves to play the game. I think a lot of people like [the game] a lot. This kid loves it. He’s a great teammate.”
↵↵While we all keep our fingers crossed, if you’ve got a second today, send a note of encouragement to LeGrand here.
