Eric LeGrand Goes From Breathless and Motionless to Nearly Unstoppable
On 2/24/21 at 11:20 PM EST
An awkward collision on a routine play left Eric LeGrand motionless on the turf at MetLife Stadium 10 years ago in New Jersey. He was wide awake, but he couldn t move and he couldn t breathe. When paramedics asked if he was ok, he could only say one thing. I can t breathe, LeGrand said. Although he said it as loud as he could, it came out as only a whisper. He spoke through gasped breath again: I can t breathe.
His collegiate coach at Rutgers, Greg Schiano, knelt by LeGrand s side and told his defensive tackle, E, you have to pray right now.

3/2: The Big Ten official pre-seeds were released after this article was published. For this weight, in order, they are: Eierman (IA), Lee (PSU), Rivera (RU), Red (NE), Duncan (ILL), Polanco (MN), D’Emilio (OSU), Mattin (MI), Filius (PU), Rooks (IU), Bertoni (MD), Santos (MSU), Valdiviez (NW), Dentino (UW)
The Big Ten will send its champion along with the next seven wrestlers at 141 pounds into the NCAAs, and others will have a shot at one of six remaining at-large bids. The Big Ten is incredibly strong at this weight, with three of the top five in the Intermat poll, and four of the top five in the National Wrestling Coaches Association coaches ranking. It includes three unbeaten wrestlers in #1 Jaydin Eierman, #2 Nick Lee, and #4 Sebastian Rivera. They are listed in what I expect to be their seeding order.
