Like any good prom date, Eric LeGrand let the girl call all the shots.
The former Rutgers football star-turned-national-inspiration attended the Hanover Park High School prom Thursday night with Gianna Brunini, whom he met a few years ago when their wheelchairs crossed paths at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange.
“She had me on the dance floor the entire night,” LeGrand told Gannett New Jersey. “I’m all tired. I was out there with those 17-year-old kids. One, I felt old, and, two, I had a great time. That’s where she wanted to be. I was her date, so I just followed her, and we were out there boogieing all night.
