PISCATAWAY, NJ – In October 2010, Eric LeGrand sufferred a career-ending injury that many thought would leave him paralyzed for life. A year later, his triumphant return was voted the best moment of 2011 in all of sports.
On a surprisingly snowy Halloween 2011 at Rutgers Stadium, he led his former teammates out of the tunnel and onto the field for an epic battle with the West Virginia Mountaineers. Rutgers kept the game close until the end, even taking a lead into the fourth quarter, but the main attraction that day was LeGrand's return.
