ESPN will air feature on Michigan lineman Elliott Mealer tonight

By AnnArbor.com Staff

ESPN's E:60 will air a feature tonight on Elliott Mealer, a redshirt freshman on the University of Michigan football team.

On Christmas Eve 2007, Mealer and his family were involved in a car accident that killed his father, David, and girlfriend, Hollis Richer. His older brother, Brock, was paralyzed.

The story chronicles Mealer's two-year healing process, in which he found inspiration from his brother's fight to walk again. ESPN will air the show tonight at 7 p.m.
