During a 2010 college football game, a crushing tackle left Eric paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors said that he would never again breathe without a ventilator. Five weeks later, he astonished them by drawing breath on his own, and eventually leading his Rutgers teammates onto the field in his wheelchair. The months to come would be a grueling, and emotional road to recovery but also a remarkable, transformative journey—that Eric would call the time since his accident the best years of his life.

His book is entitled “Believe: My Faith and the Tackle That Changed My Life” (which will be available for purchase) Eric Legrand is coming to the Ocean County Library in Toms River on Monday, July 18th at 7 PM.
