After beating coronavirus, Hanratty wonders: ‘How close was I?’

Terry Hanratty won two Super Bowls (Super Bowl IX and X) with the Steelers, but he clearly didn't leave his championship spirit in the '70s.

At 72 years old, Hanratty recently contracted — and beat — the coronavirus in a long, difficult process. Speaking with NDInsider.com's John Hickey and Bob Gibbons, Hanratty, who was a Heisman runner-up at Notre Dame, shared the details of his journey.

It started, Hanratty said, after he noticed some odd side effects from a regularly scheduled B-12 injection.

“Then the next day, the headaches, the fever, and the diarrhea started," Hanratty said.
