Former NFL prospect Adam Taliaferro inspires anyone who hears his story. The New Jersey native suffered a life-altering injury during a Penn State Football game in 2000 and was given only a 3 percent chance of ever walking again. Today, through his incredible determination and courage, tireless rehabilitation and desire to return to a normal life, Adam not only walks, but runs the Adam Taliaferro Foundation, which provides emotional, financial and educational assistance to individuals who suffer catastrophic head or spinal cord injuries.
