Ahman Green, the Green Bay Packers’ career rushing leader and a four-time Pro Bowl running back, says he has early-onset Parkinson’s disease. Multiple outlets report that Green disclosed the diagnosis during a podcast conversation this week, including remarks about the progression of the condition and the impact it has on his daily life. The Athletic and Times of India add that Green received an official diagnosis in January 2025 after noticing symptoms such as twitching in his sleep. Times of India reports that he kept the news private for about 18 months so his family could first have time to process it. Other coverage notes that Green wants open discussion about Parkinson’s disease and its potential links to football, and that he describes actively managing the condition through exercise, healthy eating, and medication. CBS Sports also reports he discusses symptoms and memory-related challenges. Green is 49 years old and played 12 NFL seasons. Across the reports, Green’s announcement centers on raising awareness, encouraging early diagnosis, and sharing his approach to living with Parkinson’s disease.
