Bucs sign paralyzed DT LeGrand

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Paralyzed defensive tackle Eric LeGrand has been signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

LeGrand broke two vertebrae and suffered a serious spinal cord injury on Oct. 16, 2010 during a kickoff return against Army. His coach at Rutgers then, Greg Schiano, now is coach of the Bucs.

How bad is the Buc's defensive line if they're signing cripples now? :1orglaugh

Seriously, though, that's a great gesture on the part of Schiano.

Schiano turned sorry ass Rutgers around.....for a while anyway.

He'll do the same to the sorry ass Bucs.....for a while anyway.

Classy move by Schiano.

So they signed him but don't give him any money. Under the rules of the league that doesn't really seem like a signing at all... :2 cents:

Giving cash and even more of a sacrifice, the use of a roster space, would have really been something that would have been nice, considering he will probably not get anything from Rutgers even considering he probably got permanently injured for them.

Isn't he still getting a free education?
