The Buccaneers, with coach Schiano, signed Eric Legrand to a pro contract. For those who don't know Eric suffered a severe spinal injury and fractured some vertebrae making a tackle against Army in 2010.

“Leading up to the draft, I couldn’t help but think that this should’ve been Eric’s draft class,” Schiano said in a statement released today by Rutgers and the Buccaneers. “This small gesture is the least we could do to recognize his character, spirit, and perseverance. The way Eric lives his life epitomizes what we are looking for in Buccaneer Men.”
