Chris Johnson has been to every major ALS clinic in the country and seen neurologists respond once they learned he played football. The sixth man to run for 2,000 yards in an NFL season read the study that found former NFL players were nearly four times as likely to develop and die from ALS than other men. “Obviously, I can’t help but wonder if there’s any connection between my career and where I am now,” Johnson wrote in a letter to his four children published Thursday by The Players Tribune.
