I just played a high school football game at this guys high school . Leland . There field is called Pat Tillman field and they all wear 40 on there helmets .
I went to Leland with Pat. He was one of my best friends, he didnt stand for bullshit. Period. If anyone was trying to hide anything he didnt feel right about, believe me that he would have been a huge threat. I dont believe it was an accident. Never have. I wish the rest of you couldve had the opportunity to know him, he could always make you smile. Best shoulder to cry on, love him. Sorry he's the strongest, smartest, most driven person I've ever had the honor to grow up with. He loved football, always tore up our home games with superspeed even as short as he was compared to most fb players, especially NFL, still held his own with ease. I'm sure for most of you out there leaving your passion(and millions of dollars) seems illogical or even stupid. But Pat was always choosing the RIGHT path, not the easy one. His family is amazing, his wife Marie, so sweet... They knew he had to do what he felt was right. I hope this sheds some light on the guy that all men should try to pattern their beliefs, patterns, morals, and inner-strength after. The world would be such a better place... 💕
Karlee Judd i actually knew pat and i never heard of your stupid ass. And just because they tried to.cover it up dont mean they killed him on purpose it was friendly fire it happens in every war.
@@karleejudd7683 ,gee Karlee, what a very special relationship you had to him. What a truely special man Mr Tillman was. Thanx for sharing that Karlee.
I remember going to Cardinals kids camp when I was young and being so damn excited to meet Jake Plummer. Well, when I finally got through Jake's gigantic line he seemed like he didn't care at all. I was pretty upset, but my dad said, "Hey, let's go over here, you're gonna like this guy, he hits like a truck." Pat had a much shorter line to meet him (like maybe none at all) but when I did he was so kind and awesome and excited. To this day he is the coolest celebrity-type person I've ever met. I got my first jersey that day. White Arizona Cardinals home with Tillman #40 on the back. He graciously signed it of course. Hero.
Regardless of how you feel about the war this dude gave up fame, millions of dollars, broads etc just to go to some hellhole desert wasteland because he believed it was the right thing to do. That's a real man.
I'm a casual so I never heard of this dude until madden. And this video was just in my recommendations so this is the first ever seeing him. Not gonna lie I didn't know he was a real player until today. Going to look up the wide receiver now too.
15 Years after his death, he has the NFL World talking about him, if only he knows how much of an impact he made, and how big of an inspiration he is to 1000's of Kids. Rest up #40.
A man like Pat Tillman goes out via friendly fire in the middle of a desert. Not only do the good die young, but sometimes in the worst of ways. Thank you for your great sacrifice Pat. We’ll never forget you.
Just a Man yes he did, hes referring to the nike ad with colin kaepernick. where kaepernick said he gave up everything, he gave up his nfl career to take a knee. when he couldve protested in different ways. he a diva in my eyes. tillman left millions on the table to serve his country. thats someone who gave up everything. sean taylor gave up everything trying to keep his family safe. both gave up everything. but you must of not have understood the original comment
The real story of Pat Tillman will reduce most men to tears even if you're not from America. real talk, this man was a legend and he will be remembered as one.
This was the guy who got murdered in the military? Dude was one of the best players in the NFL and decided to join up and got killed by his own guys. Not blaming anyone, but fuck that sucks and the fact that the government tried to hide that is even more fucked.
Gladiator Gaming I'd rather stay in nfl. Why go to crappy war in pathetic hot desert. What? To serve the country? Every one here is selfish so i dont buy that fake IM A PATRIOT garbage....
Unsolved Mr E As bad as Americans may seem to you, the rest of the world is worse. A special idea happened with the West and America, and that's worth protecting. Whether the war was legit or not is another story. But you don't get to call all of America garbage and unworthy of maintenance.
Even with all the comments about his patriotism and his death, and rightly so they should be said, THIS is the part of this clip that made me relook at how I think about Pat Tillman. The tone setting he did with that one act probably says more about him as a person, politics aside, than anything else. He was a professional. Period. And professionals don't tolerate certain things that hinder success. He showed that and showed why he did what he did both individually and as a team leader. Ronnie Lott would have been proud, I think.
RIP pat tillman. He was a hard worker and made due with what he had. He was on a mission to prove everyone wrong. May he rest in paradise with all of the other legends😭😭😭
I moved to Arizona about this time. Pat Tillman was all they talked about. And folks became even prouder of him after he enlisted. As a Chicagoan. Whenever I speak about Pat Tillman. It is always with the respect and honor he deserves. I still feel he had so much more to offer our country. #Respect
My favorite moment of him was when he was walking out of the tunnel for the game, and flipped off the cowboys fans that were yelling at him from the stands lol
He really was one tough man full of heart that got used by the government as an example of a "True patriot" He turned out to be everything the mainstream media/government actually hated though. He was an atheist, a free thinker and later became disillusioned the war in Iraq especially where he told fellow serviceman that it was "Illegal" Spoke out against the Bush administration telling his fellow servicemen to vote for John Kerry in the upcoming election, he had also mentioned how people were ordered to shoot at innocent civilians in his journal and was going to meet up with Noam Chomsky after he had completed to service to discuss his thoughts on the war and what he had witnessed. If he came out he would of been one of the biggest military whistleblowers ever due to his status as an athlete/celebrity and seeing how much influence they have in the world. Army medical examiners came to the conclusion that he was shot at close range with an M16, no more than 10 yards away and tried to get the military to do a criminal investigation but they said no, his body armour and clothing was burnt and his journal and parts of his brain was never recovered. The fact that military lied and said he was killed by the Taliban before changing their story that it was a "Friendly Fire" FIVE WEEKS LATER shows that right away something wasn't right, they awarded him the silver star and gave him a military funeral which is something he did not want and used him as a propaganda tool as what every true "Patriot" Should do and fight for a war where you have no idea what you're really fighting for.
Look at him take down that angry charger lineman. The linemen ripped his helmet off and he proceeds to take down a man that’s got him by 75 pounds like he was a child. Pat was a machine.
All of you young Buc's need to watch the drive this young Man had. When people tell you. Your to small you will never make it believe in yourself work harder have confidence in you. When you have set backs keep pushing forward . This Man is inspiring. R.I.P. PAT TILLMAN YOU MAKE ME PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.
Not true it was friendly fire that killed him and the people in the squad that killed him are suffering from ptsd and alcoholism so ya not a great situation
Horrible things happen in a war. Friendly fire is one of them. It sucks but whether it’s bad training, or confusion in the ambush, it happens. I’m sure the guys that accidentally killed him feel terrible to this day. It’s horrible for everyone involved.
This guy was probably the biggest Chad type fella I have ever seen. RIP, pretty unreal he sacrificed his entire career and eventually life for service. Man of commitment
Played against Pat in ‘96 down in Tempe and as a senior all-Conference O-lineman I was pretty damn good at blocking linebackers. Pat was relentless that night and made me look like a fool. Not so much talent as it was his instincts and the size of his heart. It was an honor to play against him. And he still had so much to contribute to the world when he died. RIP #42 Tillman
Put him in the NFL Hall of Fame, the man not only played in America’s best sport, but gave his life for our country, that alone is honorable enough to be inducted, period
I love him but he's need another 30lbs of muscle to be a LB. But with Pat I bet he could put that muscle on and prove your point. He would have gone on to be a John Lynch type of safety. Should be in the HOF.
That guy was a hellavu baller and a man willing to follow his heart and his mind toward something greater than just a football player .RIP to Pat Tillman .He died in service to his nation while trying to save the lives of his army ranger brothers.
In my mind, one of the greatest football players and men of a generation. The guy had heart, and determination. Too bad it had to end that way for him, but he is for sure in a better place than this insane world
That man is an absolute HERO !! Not only was he awesome on football field but he felt he could better serve this nation an joined military because we were at war
Jason Pollock His reasons don't justify his controversial approach. It's like saying it's okay to shoot up your next door neighbor's house because the neighbor is too loud.

K H True but blindly following orders takes no skill, nor does it show heroism. I respect the people that risk their lives for this country, no doubt. But not everyone that serves is a hero. Pat actually had leadership mentality that the military needs. To be honest, I can respect somebody for getting dishonorably discharged for standing up for his principles and morals.
Killed by friendly fire that wasn't really friendly. Pat was much more aware than the average GI and knew what time it was. This knowledge of time led to Pat being taken out! Brutally sad!
Adam Smith He never made an all-pro team. I know we all love Pat, but why oversell his achievements? I think his life and character speak for themselves, there's no need to make shit up.
Smooth Criminal nope. Paul Zimmerman named Tillman to his "all-pro" team in a column in 2000. But, you know, he's a single writer. He never made an AP all-pro team. It'd be like if a writer said a player was "in his hall of fame" and we just started calling them a hall of gamer for that.
My father Pat Tillman 196 pound that's his weight getting drafted out of Phoenix Arizona State University the same college I had a chance to go to in 2015 . When I was going going to Sam Houston High School working out over the Summers with my cousin Al I was weighing 195 & was benching 195 which was bench press. 99 the class.
thank god he played when he did , and not now, he would lay guys out , and many of those hits would get called now. but back then when you could play the way he did , he was a legend . its to bad more people didnt get to see him play
I can see why, TO had just retired, also TO is a top 3 WR HOF. Pat Tillman was a good football player who was more remembered to what happened to him in the army.

imagine how many players In the draft are never given the chance that could be all time greats
None I'd bet, because if you are gonna be great it'll show and you will get to play and when you get your chance everyone will see.
not true at all
Yeah Right that's false. Malcolm Butler was undrafted and now he has 2 rings
Yeah Right Tony Romo went undrafted and became one of the greatest QBS in history, Cameron wake went undrafted and is now an outstanding DE
Adam Vinateri went undrafted now look at him
This guy was a warrior on the football field.

Murdered?

Killed by friendly fire that wasn't really friendly. Pat was much more aware than the average GI and knew what time it was. This knowledge of time led to Pat being taken out! Brutally sad!
White all pro safety ? Damn
Adam Smith go watch a John Lynch highlight dude
Harrison Smith.
Adam Smith He never made an all-pro team. I know we all love Pat, but why oversell his achievements? I think his life and character speak for themselves, there's no need to make shit up.
Brian Sager He was all pro in 2000 He had 224 tackles in a safe angle season.... what's too make up..
Smooth Criminal nope. Paul Zimmerman named Tillman to his "all-pro" team in a column in 2000. But, you know, he's a single writer. He never made an AP all-pro team. It'd be like if a writer said a player was "in his hall of fame" and we just started calling them a hall of gamer for that.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE. MANY PRAYERS AND LOVE FROM MY FAMILY AND I.
Put Tillman in the Hall of Fame!
Thank you for your service sir. I hope wherever you are I hope it's peaceful ❤️
America, when you think of kneeling to our flag, think of Pat Tillman
My father Pat Tillman 196 pound that's his weight getting drafted out of Phoenix Arizona State University the same college I had a chance to go to in 2015 . When I was going going to Sam Houston High School working out over the Summers with my cousin Al I was weighing 195 & was benching 195 which was bench press. 99 the class.
Kaepernick is no hero. Tillman is a real hero.
Not even sure why you compared the two right now
Kaepernick literally whines about slavery and injustice while endorsing Nike, I think that says enough..
Both of them are heroes in their own way. Pat Tillman gave up the NFL to serve, and Kap gave up the NFL to make America a better place for everyone
It’s 2021 and I’m back here for the thousandth time just to be reminded on what greatness looks like 🤘
“He pissed a lot of people of”
“BOOM!!!”
thank god he played when he did , and not now, he would lay guys out , and many of those hits would get called now. but back then when you could play the way he did , he was a legend . its to bad more people didnt get to see him play
Pat Tillman should've been on the first season of A Football Life.
I mean Terrell Owens before Tillman?
Gimme a break, NFL Films.
shut up bum
jalen dawkins 😂
Affirmative action....
I can see why, TO had just retired, also TO is a top 3 WR HOF. Pat Tillman was a good football player who was more remembered to what happened to him in the army.
Reflex Babytazz I
RIP thank you for serving your country
Gave up millions to fight for his country. That's a real hero.
