Tillman suited up for the Sun Devils from 1994 to 1997. He won the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 1997 as a linebacker for Arizona State.
The Arizona Cardinals selected him in the seventh round (pick No. 226) of the 1998 draft. He played safety for the Cardinals from 1998 to 2001, before retiring and joining the Army Rangers.
Tillman was killed by what was later classified as friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004.
Below is a closer look at what the details on the cleats represent.
