Golden Retriever Life
This weekend, I had the surreal honor of announcing the 226th pick in the NFL Draft — the same pick number Pat Tillman was selected at in 1998. Pat was an NFL player who walked away from the game after 9/11 to serve in the Army, ultimately giving his life in Afghanistan. His story is a reminder of what it means to live with purpose. As a Wisconsin kid who grew up cheering for the Packers, a former Army helicopter pilot, and a proud Tillman Scholar, standing on that stage meant more than words can describe. It was a full-circle moment: about service, leadership, and living for something bigger than yourself. Forever grateful to the Pat Tillman Foundation for the opportunity and to Pat, for the example he set for all of us. @pattillmanfnd @nflinthecommunity @nfldraft @nfl @packers @steelers @usarmy #goldenretrieverlife #NFL#pattillman #TillmanScholar #NFLdraft #greenbay
