Former Vikings QB Tommy Kramer Diagnosed with Dementia

The 69-year-old announced his diagnosis a year after being informed by doctors, inspired by Brett Favre's recent revelation of Parkinson's disease.

Tommy Kramer, a former Minnesota Vikings quarterback, revealed on social media that he was diagnosed with dementia in 2023.
Kramer, 69, stated that doctors have given him a prognosis of 2 to 10 years to live, but his condition has not advanced over the past year.
Inspired by Brett Favre's announcement of his Parkinson's diagnosis, Kramer decided to share his own health condition publicly.
Kramer emphasized the need for better medical support for retired NFL players, noting that the NFL only covers what personal insurance does not.
A first-round draft pick in 1977, Kramer played 13 seasons with the Vikings and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1986.
