Tampa Bay Buccaneers sign former Rutgers DT Eric LeGrand, paralyzed in a 2010 game [View all]
As Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano was preparing for the NFL draft, his thoughts kept drifting to Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed during a game in 2010 against Army.
"Leading up to the draft, I couldn't help but think that this should've been Eric's draft class," Schiano said.
So on Tuesday, the Bucs signed LeGrand to a contract as a gesture by Schiano.
