Eric Legrand’s #52 Jersey RETIRED at Rutgers

Rutgers is a team that never retires jersey’s so this is a huge honor. Former defensive tackle Eric Legrand will have his #52 retired this season by the Scarlet Knights.

As everyone knows, Legrand is dealing with a traumatic neck injury that has left him in a wheelchair. His recovery and positive attitude is a inspiration to all. Whether you like Rutgers or not you should be rooting for this young man.

Former @RFootball player @EricLeGrand52 will have his No. 52 retired this fall, the first in 144 years of football -> http://t.co/8REGXAZRzN
