Former NFL players are showing their support for St. John Vianney quarterback Aaron Van Trease who suffered a spinal cord injury in a game three weeks ago.
Giants great Tiki Barber said, "I know you are in a tough spot and laid up and being on the shelf sucks, but you got a loving family around you, a bunch of friends, relatives and loved ones who are supporting and pulling for you."
Greg Olsen and Rob Gronkowski also sent their well wishes to Trease.
