Eric will tell them what he tells everyone. Schiano said he'll probably have LeGrand speak at some point.

“He’s a great inspiration to a lot of people.” “His positive outlook on life, even though he’s been dealt the worst hand you could imagine, that just says everything to me,' Schiano said Saturday. It's up to Schiano to decide whether his players need a jolt of perspective.

Rutgers' Melton-less secondary got blowtorched Saturday. This season's already been dented by the suspension of two players, including top cornerback Max Melton, for shooting paintballs at fellow students. LeGrand hasn’t spoken to this year’s Scarlet Knights yet. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano has treated him like a son. “To see how he handles things, how can you ever complain? If he doesn’t have a bad day, how can you have one?” “His message is always the same: “Don’t take anything you have right now for granted,” Hall said. Wherever Hall has coached - Colonia High, Seton Hall University, and now FDU -LeGrand has spoken to the players. “The kid had a chance to play on Sundays, he had everything taken away from him at the snap of a finger, and his only concern is inspiring other people and making sure everybody else is good,” Hall said. They grew up together, were both standouts at Colonia High School, and Hall was by his side the day of the injury, which left LeGrand paralyzed from the neck down. Hall, an assistant coach with Fairleigh Dickinson men’s basketball, is one of LeGrand’s best friends.
