Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand made his first public appearance since being paralyzed in a game against Army more than four months ago.

LeGrand attended a “Laugh to Heal Comedy Fest Fundraiser” for him at the Rutgers Athletic Center on Saturday.

“I just want to thank everybody for coming out here today and I’m just going to keep on chopping during my rehab,” LeGrand told the crowd of approximately 3,000 who attended the comedy show featuring Rutgers alumnus Bill Bellamy.

The event was for the “Eric LeGrand Believe Fund.”

Rutgers spokesman Jason Baum did not know on Monday how much money was raised over the weekend.
