BIO:

Ryan Shazier was drafted 15th overall in 2014 by the Pittsburgh Steelers after a standout career at Ohio State. Shazier was a Pro Bowl linebacker with the Steelers, but his career was cut short after a spinal injury that occurred during a game. He persevered through spinal stabilization surgery and eventually was able to walk again. He has a new book coming out on November 30th called Walking Miracle. It tells how faith, positive thinking, and passion for football brought him back from paralysis...and helped him find purpose.
