John Elway says his hands are back to normal after a debilitating medical condition left him unable to pick up or hold a football.
Elway, the Denver Broncos general manager and president of football operations, appeared Thursday on NBC's "Today" to help raise awareness for Dupuytren's contracture, also known as Viking Disease.
The Hall of Fame quarterback said he was diagnosed with the condition 15 years ago -- well after he retired following the 1998 season -- and that his ring fingers on both hands were constricted into a bent position.
Elway initially opted against having surgery to treat the issue, but more recently underwent a non-surgical treatment to attempt to straighten his fingers.
