Eric J. LeGrand (born September 4, 1990) is a former American football defensive tackle who played college football at Rutgers. He became paralyzed while making a tackle in an October 2010 game vs. Army, (ScarU and Mountie both in attendance), but has since regained movement in his shoulders and sensation throughout his body. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed him to a symbolic contract as an undrafted free agent in May 2012. He was presented the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 20th annual ESPYs on July 11, 2012.[ In 2017, LeGrand was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as the third recipient of the Warrior Award. He is a speaker for Reeve Foundation raising millions of dollars, a popular motivational speaker for schools and companies and now a Coffee Shop Owner, LeGrand coffee. Personally, he is a friend and an inspiration to keep going when things get tough. ScarU wanted to dedicate this workout to Eric, as he is a HERO in the truest sense. He reminded the PAX that Eric is a true #HIM, (high impact man), who spreads positivity wherever he goes.
