Former Eagles player is back on his feet after once being told he’d never walk again

After once being told he’d never be able to walk again, former Philadelphia Eagles running back Jerome Harrison is back on his feet. Harrison shared an inspirational update via his Twitter account.

5 years ago doctors discovered that I had a brain tumor. After surgery I was a diagnosed quadriplegic and doctors told me I would never be able to walk again. With faith and perseverance I was able to regain strength in my legs and take steps. #ImpossibleIsNothing pic.twitter.com/GLr7PUEW69

As you may recall, the tumor referenced by Harrison here was discovered when the Eagles tried to acquire him in a trade with the Detroit Lions back in 2011.
