GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 Ahman Green, a four-time Pro Bowl running back and the Green Bay Packers\u2019 career rushing leader, said he learned last year that he has early onset Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

The 49-year-old Green discussed his diagnosis this week on Tyler Dunne\u2019s \u201cGo Long\u201d podcast.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI know unfortunately there\u2019s a day we eventually, where our clock stops ticking,\u201d Green said. \u201cThe way I look at it, my clock is going to stop ticking when I want it to stop ticking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green said it\u2019s similar to the approach he took while running the ball during a 12-year NFL career in which he rushed for 9,205 yards and 60 touchdowns. His last season was 2009.<\/p>\n

Green said his symptoms began when his feet started twitching in his sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew something was going on long before that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Parkinson\u2019s is a neurologic disease that robs people of control over their movements. It typically starts with tremors and is characterized by slow movement, a shuffling gait, stiff limbs, balance problems and slurred speech.<\/p>\n

Green said he sometimes sleepwalks and has no recollection of it afterward. He called his short-term memory \u201ctrash,\u201d but said his long-term memory is better.<\/p>\n

He expressed optimism about his long-term outlook while pointing out he exercises regularly and has a \u201csuper clean\u201d diet.<\/p>\n

Green rushed for at least 1,163 yards each season from 2000-04 while playing for the Packers. He earned four straight Pro Bowl appearances from 2001-04.<\/p>\n

He rushed for 8,322 yards as a Packers player, the highest total in the franchise\u2019s storied history. He set a Packers single-season record by rushing for 1,883 yards in 2003.<\/p>\n

Green\u2019s NFL career began with the Seattle Seahawks, who selected him out of Nebraska in the third round of the 1998 draft. He spent two seasons with Seattle before getting traded to Green Bay in April 2000.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He played for the Packers from 2000-06, spent 2007-08 with the Houston Texans and returned to Green Bay for one last season.<\/p>\n

Green\u2019s announcement comes two years after former Packers teammate Brett Favre disclosed that he has Parkinson\u2019s disease. Green said he spoke with Favre a couple of weeks ago to catch up but added that he planned to call the Hall of Fame quarterback to let him know \u201che has a brother right behind him.\u201d<\/p>\n
