Hall of Famer Forrest Gregg fighting Parkinson's
Green Bay Packers great Forrest Gregg, a man celebrated for his durability on the football field, is facing a difficult challenge away from the gridiron.
Nicknamed "Iron Man" for playing in a then-record 188 consecutive NFL games during his Hall of Fame career, Gregg told The Associated Press he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Although the cause of the debilitating neurological disorder is unknown, Gregg, his family and his neurologist say his disease may be related to numerous concussions he suffered during his playing career in the 1950s at SMU and from 1956-71 with the Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

If the defense keeps improving and we can keep Rodgers healthy I have no doubt we will run the table!

I know Bucky mentioned it in Brandon Saine's thread but I am excited to see if we can get a boost to our running game from him. Hes got great hands out of the backfield and from what I remember is a pretty good blocking back.
