In 1999 the Arizona Cardinals finished with a record of 6-10, that, while disappointing, saw the emergence of a new star in the form of strong safety Pat Tillman. Sadly, instead of developing into the Hall of Fame-caliber safety many envisioned, Tillman abruptly left football to serve in the military overseas. While stationed in Afghanistan, Tillman was the tragic victim of friendly fire, leading to a complicated and emotional set of extenuating circumstances. Tillman has signed this offered football, along with more than 50 of his Arizona Cardinals teammates. Signatures on this football include the Hall of Famer Aeneas Williams, Tillman, David Boston, Frank Sanders, Jake Plummer, Andre Wadsworth, Chris Jacke, Michael Pittman, Simeon Rice, Scott Player, Corey Chavous, Matt Joyce, Tom Knight, Tom Burke, Brad Ottis, Kwamie Lassiter, Jarius Hayes, Chris Dishman, Ronald McKinnon, Corey Sears, Justin Lucas, Anthony Clement, Trey Junkin, Dave Brown, MarTay Jenkins, Zack Walz, and several others. The signatures have been written in black fiber-tip marker on this white-paneled football. This item comes with a LOA from JSA (Z58885).
