Social media reacts after former NFL Star Chris Johnson reveals ALS diagnosis

Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, 40, announced his ALS diagnosis on Monday during an appearance on Good Morning America.
Johnson uses a speech-generating device as the progressive neurodegenerative disease impacts his ability to communicate; doctors believe his case is sporadic ALS, which accounts for the vast majority of cases.
Commentator Larry Jonson drew comparisons to other public figures, publicly urging Johnson to "get my house in order" while discussing his condition.
The announcement sparked concern within the NFL community regarding running backs' health, with observers noting several players faced medical challenges in the last four years.
Johnson is currently participating in a clinical trial as part of his treatment plan, seeking potential medical advancements to combat the disease's progression.
