A former New York Jets offensive lineman is in need of an kidney transplant, and he hopes a fan will hear his message and be able to help.
Nick Mangold, 41, said in a letter to the Jets community that he was diagnosed with a genetic defect back in 2006 that has led to chronic kidney disease, and he has recently been going through a "tough stretch."
"After a rough summer, I'm undergoing dialysis as we look for a kidney transplant. I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have had more time," he wrote.
