I saw an article online about Brad Johnson, Super Bowl champion quarterback from Black Mountain, North Carolina and his health issues as a result of his football career. The article is linked below.
Keep Brad in your thoughts and prayers.
For those of you who don't remember Brad:
James Bradley "Brad" Johnson (born September 13, 1968) is a former American football quarterback who played for seventeen seasons in the National Football League. Johnson grew up in Black Mountain, North Carolina and played high school basketball and football at Charles D. Owen High School. At Florida State University, Johnson originally played college basketball before switching to football in his third year. The Minnesota Vikings drafted Johnson in the ninth round of the1992 NFL Draft. He spent seven seasons with the Vikings and two seasons with the Washington Redskins before becoming the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2001. He led the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl XXXVII
title. He played for the Buccaneers for four seasons from 2001 to 2004,
the Minnesota Vikings for two more seasons from 2005 to 2006, and the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons from 2007 to 2008. (compliments of Wikipedia)
Here is the excellent article by USA Today's Robert Klemko:
