During decent in ZZZ; [we] received [a] lightning strike. Approximately 5 minutes later; [we] lost [the] Captain's air data and airspeed was INOP. [We] received many related and unrelated EICAS messages to air data failure [and] also received many other EICAS messages; such as EEC for both engines; ground proximity; rudder ratio; etc. [There were] so many messages I lost track. We ran QRH procedures for unreliable airspeed [and requested priority handling] with ATC. Captain landed safely. [We] notified [the Dispatcher]; Duty Officer; and Maintenance. [The] event [was] documented in [the] aircraft maintenance logbook. I do not know for sure but suspect a lightning strike [was the cause].
B757 First Officer reported a lightning strike had rendered numerous systems inoperative during descent to destination airport.
