Just a few days ago, Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre announced that he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. That announcement inspired another former quarterback from the NFC North to share an update on their health.

On Wednesday, former All-Pro quarterback Tommy Kramer revealed that he has been diagnosed with dementia. The 69-year-old received his diagnosis a little over a year ago at the Cleveland Clinic.

"With Brett Favre announcement yesterday, I feel it’s best I let everyone know that I was diagnosed with dementia just over a year ago at the NFL Cleveland Clinic," Kramer wrote. "Dr’s say I could have anywhere from 2 to 10 years, just had my year check up and it hasn’t advanced and I’ve been sober for almost a year now which will definitely help.

"Please, no sympathy, 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. Football is the life we chose to live and sometimes stuff like this can happen."

Kramer played for the Minnesota Vikings from 1977-1989. His best season came in 1986 when he threw for 3,000 yards and 24 touchdowns while leading the league in passer rating. Not only did he earn Comeback Player of the Year, he received Pro Bowl honors.

Before Kramer wrapped up his career, he spent a season with the New Orleans Saints. Of course, he's truly remembered for his time with the Vikings.

To this day, Kramer is second all-time in Vikings history for passing yards. Fran Tarkenton is the only quarterback ahead of him.

We wish Kramer all the best as he navigates through this tough battle.
