Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer has been diagnosed with dementia, he announced on social media. The sixty-nine-year-old Kramer played 13 of his 14 seasons in the NFL with the Vikings and made the Pro Bowl after leading the league in passer rating in 1986.
“I’ve lived a great life and wouldn’t change a thing. Nobody wanted to win more than me and I never gave up, and that’s exactly how I’m going to battle this,” Kramer said.
The news comes after former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre said Tuesday that he has Parkinson’s disease during a congressional hearing.
