Peyton, Eli Manning's NFL Agent, Tom Condon, Battling Serious Health Issues

Peyton and Eli Manning's NFL agent is opening up about serious health issues.

Tom Condon, a longtime NFL agent known for representing the most famous brothers in NFL history, is battling serious health problems. It's believed that the health problems could be Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, a brain disorder.

The longtime NFL agent is one of the most successful in league history. He represented 79 players who were drafted in the first round, including nine who were chosen first.

Unfortunately, though, he's been dealing with some serious health issues. And it's believed that it could be something brain-related.

"His sentences are short. His voice used to be smooth like Barry White's, but his speech has become labored. His movements take more time. To get from here to there, a wheelchair. This began about five years ago," The Athletic wrote.

"Soon after, doctors began talking about Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. The condition, which afflicts musician Billy Joel, causes excess spinal fluid to build up in the skull, putting pressure on the brain. A shunt implant has helped drain excess fluid from Condon's head but has not been a cure-all. And the reality is, despite many tests in many places, his diagnosis is murky. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus can be caused by head trauma. As can CTE."

NFL fans are thinking of Condon

NFL fans are wishing for the best for the longtime agent.

"What a heartbreaking, heartwarming story. I'm old enough to remember Tom Condon on the field but I never knew his story till today. An inspirational man at every age and I wish him a blessing filled old age," one wrote.

"Tom Condon ought to make us all proud to a part of the human race. Though I suspect, like me, most everyone comes up a little short in comparison. Still, he makes me feel good. And kudos again to the writer for telling us Condon's story," one fan added.

"Football is a brutal game," one shared.

Our thoughts are with Condon and his family.
