#Shalieve: Steelers LB dances with his new bride

Shazier was rushed to a University of Cincinnati hospital on Dec. 4, 2017 after a tackling attempt against the Cincinnati Bengals left him struggling to move. The two-time Pro Bowler underwent spinal stabilization surgery a few days after, and he didn't regain movement in his legs until the following February.

In the days, weeks and months that have followed, Shazier has tackled milestone after milestone in his ultimate goal of returning to the NFL. Where paralysis once was a concern in the days after the injury, Shazier has retaught himself to walk, drive a car, jog and lift weights.
