Ryan Shazier’s story is one that not just Pittsburgh Steelers fans, but almost all football fans are familiar with because of its tragic but uplifting nature. Shazier looked like he was going to be the next great Steelers linebacker, but an unfortunate accident on a routine play in 2017 nearly left him paralyzed for life. It was the end of his football career, but the start of something greater, as Shazier miraculously managed to regain full function of his body after years of hard work. Now, he’s made it his life’s mission to help people dealing with spinal injuries like his through the Ryan Shazier Fund for Spinal Rehabilitation.
