This is great news for Millen and football fans. It was awful news when we all heard about his fight with amyloidosis.
It’s never a good situation when you have to get a heart transplant. That much is for sure. However, the surgery was successful, and it looks like Millen is returning to his old ways.
He’s one of the best in the game when it comes to being in the booth.
It’s also just great to see Millen healthy and back involved with football. He’s been a legend within the sport ever since his days at Penn State.
The four Super Bowl rings are also just further proof of how successful he was on the field before eventually moving to a role off of it. His time with the Lions wasn’t successful, but that’s about the only thing he’s done in football that wasn’t.
It’s going to be great to see him back. There’s no question about that at all.
