Former Penn State football great Matt Millen is battling a rare disease and might need a heart transplant.
According to The Allentown Morning Call, the 60-year-old broadcaster has amyloidosis, a life-threatening illness that has robbed his heart of most of its normal function.
But Millen, who spent 12 years in the NFL with the Raiders, 49ers and Redskins and earned four Super Bowl rings, is tough to slow down.
"You continue to do the things you love to do, maybe not at 100 percent, but you do them,” Pat Millen, Matt Millen's wife, told The Morning Call.
