Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur paid tribute to the late Pat Tillman on what would have been the former NFL player and Army Ranger's 50th birthday, wearing a commemorative t-shirt during the team's activities on Saturday.
Tillman, who left his NFL career with the Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army following the September 11 attacks, was killed in Afghanistan in 2004. His legacy continues to be honored by the organization and the broader football community.
LaFleur's gesture comes as the Cardinals recognize Tillman's enduring impact on the franchise and the nation. The team has previously retired Tillman's No. 40 jersey and maintains a memorial at State Farm Stadium.
