Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Tommy Kramer has been diagnosed with dementia, he announced on social media. The 69-year-old Kramer, who 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, posted on his X account Wednesday that he was formally diagnosed with the cognitive decline a little more than year ago at the Cleveland Clinic as part of a health and wellness program for former NFL players.
'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, a native of San Antonio, was drafted in the first round out of Rice by the Vikings in 1977.
