Eric LeGrand may be paralyzed but as of Wednesday morning, he was a professional football player.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed the former Rutgers defensive tackle to a contract.
LeGrand hurt his spinal cord while playing against Army over a year ago.
If LeGrand's career hadn't ended prematurely, he may have been picked in last week's draft.
No word on what his role will be in the franchise.
