Buccaneers sign LeGrand

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers new head coach Greg Schiano signed former Rutgers defensive tackle Eric LeGrand to their 90 man roster. Schiano was his head coach when he played at Rutgers. LeGrand suffered a career ending injury during a game in 2010 and is now paralyzed.LeGrand suffered to fractured vertebrae and serious damage to his spinal cord.  It was always a dream of his to play in the NFL, retire and become a sportscaster and coach Schiano is making part of his dream come true. The Buccaneers will send him a helmet, jersey, and a contract to sign. The contract is merely symbolic so they wont be paying LeGrand. Eric LeGrand vows that one day he will walk again.
