NEW YORK (AP) — Eric LeGrand took part in the coin toss for Rutgers game against Army, the first time the teams have played since the defensive tackle was paralyzed making a tackle on a kickoff return against the Black Knights in October 2010.
One of Army’s captains for the game was Malcolm Brown, the returner LeGrand tackled on the play in which he was hurt.
The ceremony drew a crowd of photographers and it was hard to see any exchange between LeGrand and Brown.
Brown and each of Army’s three other captains walked over to LeGrand after the Black Knights won the toss and patted him on the shoulder or extended a hand to wish him well.
