Eric LeGrand Reports Progress In Recovery From Paralyzing Injury

Paralyzed Rutgers Scarlet Knights defender Eric LeGrand shared a piece of good news with his Twitter followers Monday afternoon. LeGrand, who was hurt during a special teams play that's inspired coach Greg Schiano to try and do something about dangerous kickoff plays, reported he can feel "twitches" in his body.

LeGrand has previously demonstrated good spirits, made several public appearances and even spoken publicly. His continuing recovery is something every college football fan can root for without reservation.
