Chris Johnson Diagnosed with ALS | New Orleans Saints News

When NFL legend Chris Johnson received his ALS diagnosis—shocking, given no family history—he found an immediate ally in Steve Gleason, the Saints icon who’s lived with ALS since 2011.

Gleason’s direct message of solidarity reminds us: every ALS patient carries a story, purpose, and future worth fighting for, and Johnson’s journey is now part of a powerful, unwavering movement of hope.
