One thing that becomes apparent for most working human beings is that they have at least two extensive careers in their lifetimes. For former star Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman, the first one ended in January of 2016 in Super Bowl 50. His brilliant football run saw him deliver two Pro Bowls, 36 interceptions and 44 forced fumbles. As if the man wasn’t badass enough, he’s decided to level up to Charles Tillman FBI agent.
That’s right. The man known as “Peanut” may have to be known as “Nutcracker” in the near future. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, multiple sources informed them that Tillman had been accepted for training to join the prestigious crime fighting organization. Quite the unexpected turn of events.
“Forget unsuspecting NFL wide receivers. The next guy Charles Tillman executes the “Peanut Punch” on might be a fugitive running from the law.
The former Chicago Bears cornerback recently began training to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation, multiple individuals told the Tribune, including a high-ranking law enforcement source who is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
FBI guidelines mandate prospective candidates for hiring as a special agent must be at least 23 years old but younger than 37 at the time of appointment. Tillman turns 37 on Feb. 23.”
Charles Tillman FBI swerve is unexpected but fitting
One thing about Tillman is he’s always been the type of guy who loves to serve his community. His charity work throughout his NFL career was the stuff of legends. So in hindsight it shouldn’t be a surprise that he wants to continue that service in a new vocation. It doesn’t get much more high-profile and impacting than the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Here’s hoping he passes with flying colors. It would be great to know one of Chicago’s finest sons is serving his country in that fashion.
