The US war hero who sacrificed promising football career to fight for his country: How Pat Tillman turned down lucrative NFL contract to serve in Afghanistan before being killed in friendly-fire ambush – as Prince Harry faces backlash for award in his name
With his rugged good looks, a i wife and a multi-million dollar NFL contract, Pat Tillman seemed to have it all.
The Arizona Cardinals safety was one of the rising stars of American Football, known for defying his relatively small 5ft 11in frame to excel as a safety, earning him admiring glances from some of the NFL’s top teams.
But above all else, he was a patriot and when nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the then-24-year-old felt compelled to act.
Forgoing the offer of a $3.6million dollar contract, he enlisted in the Army alongside his brother, determined to serve his country during the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But his loyalty to his country would not be repaid, with the football star tragically losing his life in a friendly-fire ambush in 2004 that was subsequently covered up by the military
