He got the fan's choice cover on this week's Sports Illustrated!! LeGrand's recovery from a paralyzing injury last season vs Army and his brave fight back have captured the hearts of Americans and LeGrand even beat out Barcelona and Argentina soccer superstar Lionel Messi for the cover, a fact not lost on LeGrand:
"I beat out Messi in this, and when I get well, I'll beat him out on the pitch (soccer field)," said a smiling LeGrand during a press conference to announce his selection at the Hale Center on the Rutgers campus.
Know what? We hope Eric gets to one day keep that date on the pitch with Lionel Messi, so long as it's not playing for Real Madrid.
Go get 'em Eric!
