Former Jets center Nick Mangold announces he needs kidney transplant

Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold announced he needs a kidney transplant in a statement shared to social media Tuesday.

‘This isn’t an easy message to share, but I want to be open about what’s been happening with me and my health,’ Mangold wrote. ‘In 2006, I was diagnosed with a genetic defect that has led to chronic kidney disease. After a rough summer, I’m undergoing dialysis as we look for a kidney transplant.’

‘I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have had more time,’ he added.

Mangold played 11 NFL seasons, all with the Jets, after being selected in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. The Ohio State product made 164 starts while earning two All-Pro first team nods and being voted into seven Pro Bowls before his retirement following the 2016 NFL season.

Mangold – who has a wife and four children – explained in his statement he does not have any family able to donate a kidney at this time. That’s what led the 41-year-old to reach out to the Jets and Ohio State communities for potential assistance.

Mangold credited his family with being his ‘rock’ as he has battled kidney disease.

‘This situation has reminded me how lucky I am to have such an amazing family, friends, and community behind me,’ he wrote.

And Mangold acknowledged he is ‘staying positive’ despite the ‘tough stretch’ and is hoping his health will improve soon.

‘I’m looking forward to better days and getting back to full strength soon,’ Mangold wrote. ‘I’ll see you all at MetLife Stadium & The Shoe very soon.’
