Former New York Jets star Nick Mangold says he's in need of a kidney ... and now, he's asking his fans for help in finding one.
The seven-time Pro Bowler revealed on his Instagram page Tuesday he's been dealing with kidney issues for decades -- and "after a rough summer" this year, he's in search of an organ donor.
"Unfortunately," the 41-year-old wrote in a lengthy statement, "I do not have family able to donate at this time, so this is why I'm reaching out to you, our NY Jets and Ohio State communities.
