Browns legend Bernie Kosar says he feels like a 'walking miracle' after liver transplant

Former NFL star Trent Green talks to Fox News Digital about Shedeur Sanders' first start as an NFL pro.

Cleveland Browns legend Bernie Kosar was discharged from a hospital on Monday after a successful liver transplant just a week earlier.

Kosar, who was released a day before his 62nd birthday, said he feels like a "walking miracle."

"There was no way I thought I was going to be here for my 62nd birthday," Kosar said during a press conference on Monday, according to Cleveland.com. "There was no way I thought I was going to be healthy, let alone walking out of here."

"I feel like a walking miracle."

Kosar revealed that he needed a transplant after he was diagnosed with liver failure in July 2024 in an interview with Cleveland Magazine. 

After being put on a transplant list in the spring of 2024, Kosar received a new liver on Nov. 17. It came from 21-year-old Bryce Dunlap, who had died from complications of an anoxic brain injury the day before.
