Dammit man, I quit!” LeGrand moaned to reporters outside his home in Highland Park on Tuesday. “I’ve also been really depressed lately.” LeGrand, confined to a wheelchair since a tackle against Army fractured his C3 and C4 cervical vertebrae four years ago, had always been optimistic about the state of Rutgers football until now.
