What disease does Cooper Manning have?

Cooper Manning is an American entrepreneur and television personality who is the host of the show, The Manning Hour for Fox Sports as well as principal and senior managing director of investor relations for AJ Capital Partners.

Manning played football at Isidore Newman School as a wide receiver. He was a highly ranked prospect out of high school and ended up committing to the University of Mississippi, Archie’s and later his brother Elis alma mater.

When practices started in the summer before school, Manning felt some numbness in his fingers and toes, so he went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, to be diagnosed. There he was told that he had spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spine and pinching of the nerves.

Manning accepted the diagnosis and immediately ended his playing career.
