Fact check: Is there reason for NFL world to be praying for Terry Bradshaw?

The NFL world has some concerns about former Pittsburgh Steelers legend and current Fox broadcaster Terry Bradshaw. It was recently revealed in November that Bradshaw had fought cancer twice in the previous year.

However, there is currently no reason to be terribly concerned for Bradshaw. He's an older man, 74 years old (his former teammate Franco Harris died at 72), so there are always some concerns, but nothing has happened to him recently that requires concern over his well-being.

He's in fine health for now and there is currently no reason to believe he will no longer be sharing his football insights with the world on Fox any time soon.

What did Terry Bradshaw suffer from?

Terry Bradshaw said on the Fox broadcast in November:

"Last week on this show, I ran out of breath, and Howie [Long] helped me up. And a lot of people are asking what's wrong with me, what's happened to me physically. I just want to address it and let you know what has happened in my life. In November, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer."

That was in 2021 and in March of 2022, after surgery and treatment, he was diagnosed with skin cancer. He had surgery to address that, as well.

On that same broadcast, the four-time Super Bowl winner said he was feeling fine:

"Folks, I may not look like my old self, but I feel like my old self. I'm cancer free, I'm feeling great. And over time, I'm going to be back to where I normally am."

At this moment, it seems as if the legendary quarterback has avoided the physical maladies that recently plagued his body. However, he does suffer from a few mental health issues.

He has been diagnosed with clinical depression for nearly three decades. He also has ADD. While these are not something anyone should have to deal with, they don't present an immediate risk for his life and health.

Despite battling old age and two cancer diagnoses, Terry Bradshaw is doing just fine.
