Former Bears cornerback Charles Tillman traded in his play books for classified information.
Tillman graduated the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s training academy in 2018 and is now working as an agent, according to the Chicago Tribune. He’s on a two-year probationary period until 2020, per FBI protocol, the Tribune reported. During that time, Tillman will experience a variety of situations to prepare him for future placement.
Tillman, known by Bears fans for the “Peanut Punch,” started training to join the FBI in September 2017. There was a sense of urgency with his application process because prospective FBI candidates must be younger than 37 at the time of appointment.
