Former Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed from the neck down when he attempted to make a tackle in a 2010 game against Army, told TMZ Sports on Sunday he recently reached out to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier.

"My message to him is just to stay strong, keep the faith, keep on believing and the biggest thing is you got to keep on working hard no matter what the doctors may tell you. Continue to work hard and you never know what might come out of this. Every spinal cord injury is different, but you got to always believe.
