Rutgers University made the great choice to feature Eric LeGrand’s No. 52 as it debuted throwback uniforms. LeGrand is the player paralyzed on a kickoff who has done incredible work since suffering the injury on a kickoff in 2010.
The school produced the McCourty twins, who have gone on to long and impressive careers in the NFL. Devin McCourty is a three-time Super Bowl champion, two-time Pro Bowler, and a speaker of stature when it comes to athletes.
His brother, Jason, is also a Super Bowl champ and has played next to his brother for New England since 2018.
Players to proudly promote.
Which begs the question of why the State School of New Jersey decided to feature Ray Rice first in its highlights of Scarlet Knight players in the video about the throwbacks.
Rice is the former NFL running back who never played a down after a video surfaced of him knocking out his wife in an Atlantic City elevator in 2014.
Another curious choice from a school whose players have made curious decisions recently that have led to a coronavirus break among 28 players and other staff members.
Is the downtrodden football program so bad that the best it could do is rekindle Rice? This is one call that should have been audibled.
