EPISODE #124 | LEROY COLLINS | FROM THE WHEELCHAIR TO THE NFL

EPISODE #124 | FROM THE WHEELCHAIR TO THE NFL

 

Welcome to episode 124 of American Real, where this week we bring you the inspirational story of Leroy Collins. 

 

Leroy says, “In life, you are going to face many challenges. Challenges that are going to to make you want to give up. Challenges that are even going to question your existence. We must remember challenges are supposed to make us stronger, make us wiser.”

 

In 1982, at the age of six, while playing outdoors with his younger brother, Ernie and his cousins, the unthinkable happened. Ernie ran into the street and Leroy tried to stop him from being hit by a U-Haul style truck, but it was too late. Ernie was hit first and then Leroy. The impact was hard and direct, as Leroy was tossed into the air before being run over by the truck which dragged him for a block and a half. The tragic story and Leroy’s survival is nothing less than a miracle, and it’s all documented in his newly released book, The Running Back: True Story From The Wheelchair To The NFL.
