From NFL Defense to Unexpected Career: The Surprising New Path of a Former Bears Star
— MLFootball (@_MLFootball) June 30, 2025
A second-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, Tillman played 12 years for the Bears, made it to two Pro Bowls, and helped them reach Super Bowl XLI.
He forced and recovered a fumble during that game, which the Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts.
Tillman, the ultimate ballhawk, led the NFL with 10 forced fumbles in 2012, becoming famous for his signature “Peanut Punch.”
He joined the Carolina Panthers on a one-year deal but tore his ACL, preventing him from playing in Super Bowl 50 against the Denver Broncos.
