An inspirational night with Eric LeGrand

Posted May 27, 2013
The elevator -- and the house -- belong to Eric LeGrand, the former Rutgers defensive tackle who was paralyzed from the neck down while making a tackle on a kickoff against Army on Oct. 16, 2010. I met Eric last year through our mutual friend and representative, Sandy Montag of IMG, and ever since then Eric and I have stayed in touch. (Sports Illustrated)
