Former Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar, a Youngstown native, speaks at a town hall sponsored by East Palestine Justice on March 23, 2023, in Columbiana, Ohio.

For those older NFL fans who remember the glory days of Bernie Kosar leading the Cleveland Browns, good news came in about the NFL legend's health on Monday.

Kosar, a former Pro Bowl selection and Super Bowl Champion who led the Browns to three AFC Championship games, received a liver transplant on Monday and is "feeling good" after the procedure. Kosar has been struggling with liver issues after being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinson's disease, news which he shared publicly last year. Kosar has been waiting on the transplant for over a year and has undergone five procedures to stop internal bleeding over the previous week.

"Just ready to enjoy the rest of the week and the rest of our lives," Kosar said in a video on social media.

Kosar is third all-time in Browns' history in passing yards with 21,094 yards, and is largely considered one of the most beloved players in program history. Recently, Browns' head coach Kevin Stefanski talked about Kosar and his impact on the franchise and the city of Cleveland.

"Yeah, I mean, Bernie's my guy. I know that this town has such a special relationship with Bernie from his playing days and then the impact that he's had on this community over the course of all these years," Stefanski said. "I didn't have that experience with Bernie prior to coming here, but since I've been here, he has just been such a supportive person of me, so kind to my family. I think he sees my family every game day and just is so good to them. So, he's a special person. He's a special Cleveland Brown, and we are all rooting for him, and we are all right there with him right now."
