Former Rutgers University defensive tackle Eric LeGrand is expanding his bourbon brand from New Jersey and Kentucky into New York and is donating proceeds from cases of liquor sold to find a cure for paralysis.
On Oct. 16, 2010, LeGrand was tragically paralyzed during a football game against Army at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Jets and New York Giants.
During a fourth quarter play, LeGrand’s future plans were shifted, and his life remained still for a moment when he went to make a tackle.
