Ahman Green, the all-time leading rusher for the Green Bay Packers, revealed he is battling early onset Parkinson's disease. In an emotional announcement on the "Go Long with Tyler Dunne" podcast, the 49-year-old disclosed that he received his diagnosis in January 2025.

Struggling to accept his condition initially, Green only shared the news with close friends and family. He described his short-term memory as "trash," attributing this to the disease.

• Green noted symptoms such as feet twitching during sleep, which prompted him to seek medical advice.
• He emphasized the importance of remembering names and faces, often repeating names aloud or jotting them down.

With a remarkable career, Green holds several Packers records:

• Career rushing yards: 8,322
• Single-season rushing yards: 1,883 (2003)
• Single-game rushing yards: 218 against the Denver Broncos (2003)

Green earned four Pro Bowl selections during his initial seven-season stint with the Packers. He returned to the team for one final season after two years with the Houston Texans, surpassing Jim Taylor's career rushing record.

Sadly, he joins fellow Packers legend Brett Favre as another player from his era diagnosed with Parkinson's. Green advocates for open discussions about the disease among former players, insisting it should be a prominent topic.

Currently, he focuses on controlling his health through diet and medical treatments, stating, "I got the reins. I'm in control. I'm not going to let this control me." Green remains optimistic, viewing this fight as just another challenge, similar to those he faced on the field.

He expressed a determined mindset, saying, "The way I look at it is my clock is going to stop ticking when I want it to stop ticking." This resilient attitude reflects his approach to both life and football.
