Guy Morriss, a former NFL player who also served as the head coach at Baylor and Kentucky, told WKYT that he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
"At first I couldn't write my name," Morriss said. "I could not write my name. I didn't know my ABCs. I couldn't do that little rhyme."
He continued, "You wake up one day...everything connects. Next time, you get out of bed. ... It's just a day at a time."
Morriss has tackled his treatment and therapy in the same way he approached his career, however.
