Eric LeGrand knows all too well what it is like to suffer a life-changing injury on the football field.
As Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition after collapsing on the field during the Bills-Bengals game, a man who is no stranger to the issue of safety in football is speaking out.His passion for life, his big heart and his big smile are an inspiration to many. For anyone watching, seeing Hamlin collapse on field was startling, but for LeGrand, it was so much more.
It was Oct. 16, 2010 when the defensive tackle suffered a career-ending spinal cord injury after colliding with a player, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. He was carted off the field and on the way to the hospital within seven minutes -- conscious the entire time.
