However, he will still need a liver transplant.

Kosar has gone through multiple surgeries this past week, as he awaits the liver transplant, after the previous donor liver became infected.

Despite the medical challenges he's faced, he says he's in good spirits, remembering advice from his former football coaches.

"They used to say, how you do little things is how you do all things," Kosar said. "And each day when you wake up, you never stay the same; you get better or worse. That amazing foundational advice couldn't be any truer today, as I wake up early and I make the conscious decision each and every day to be better."

Earlier this week, Kosar posted a video to Facebook, asking for prayers and support with the stress he's been under.
