Someone wondered in another thread where Grant came from and why he was hanging out practice squads. That made me wonder too. This may explain it.

2005/2006 NFL Season

Signing as an undrafted free agent,[2] Grant spent 2005 on the Giants practice squad, but missed the entire 2006 season after a non-football related injury threatened his career: Grant was at a nightclub when someone bumped into him; when he went to brace himself his left arm went through several champagne glasses, severing an artery, a tendon and the ulnar nerve in his left arm. Grant almost bled to death and doctors at the time told him he may not regain the use of his left hand.[3]
While on injured reserve he coached, lending his expertise at Queen of Peace High School in North Arlington, New Jersey, earning the admiration of the student athletes and coaches.[3

The morning after the accident happened, he was in surgery. During his time off, he also took some real estate classes.

The Giants would have kept him on the squad earlier this year but they had too many RBs as it was (Jacobs, Droughns, Ward and Bradshaw).

They must have missed something, cause if Grant played like this in camp, Droughns should've been out of a job.

The Packers got a steal hear, this dude is Willie Parker Jr.

Yeah, but Droughns had already had succes in the NFL...and I think Grant probably was not getting enough reps to shwocase himself...then again, he could be one of those guys who is more of a game day performer.

In 2006 the Packers beat the Bears. In 2007 the Bears beat the Packers. Both years, the better team lost. What does it take to win? How much is talent, and how much is heart? Maybe he got some heart, coming back from the accident.
