Former Arizona Cardinals lineman joins military

Arizona Cartdinals fans always remember Pat Tillman, who is immortalized outside University of Phoenix Stadium with a statue.' He turned down a big NFL contract to go join the military. He would later give his life while on active duty and is a symbol of heroism in our country.

Former Cardinals offensive lineman Daryn Colledge is following in Tillman's footsteps in a way.

Colledge retired from the NFL after the 2014 season, but now has decided to join the Army National Guard.

It isn't quite the same thing as what Tillman did, but it is every bit as noble.
