Cardinals Wire
Pat Tillman’s name is always embedded in the minds of the people of Arizona, but in April, it’s especially poignant.
It was on April 19, 1998, that the Arizona State standout was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the seventh round of the draft, 226 overall.
It was on April 22, 2004, that Tillman was tragically slain by friendly fire in Afghanistan.
And it’s around those dates every year since 2005 that Pat’s Run takes place to benefit the Pat Tillman Foundation, which now has close to 1,000 Tillman Scholars making differences in people’s lives.
