Rutgers Football’s Eric LeGrand Meets The Rock

Thursday night, HBO hosted a premiere party in Miami Beach for their show Ballers. Dwayne Johnson, better known as the Rock, is the star of the show. Eric LeGrand, favorite son of Rutgers, was there and had a chance to meet the Rock.

It was only 4 years ago that LeGrand received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the 2012 ESPY’s. Of course, Rutgers fans have been inspired by LeGrand since his accident occured the fall of 2010. He is a positive example in the face of adversity that we can all learn from.

LeGrand has done amazing work for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, starting Team LeGrand in an effort to raise money in the search of a cure for paralysis.
