Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua oti i a Charles Tillman tana mahi 12 tau ki te Chicago Bears. Kua whakaaetia e te kaitiaki kokonga he kirimana me nga Carolina Panthers me te rua-wa Pro Bowler e hiahia ana ki te hono atu ki a Ron Rivera. I te 34 o ona tau, ā, i muri i tētahi atu wā whara-whara, kāore te rangatōpū hou o ngā Bears i whakamōhio i te hiahia ki te pupuri i a Tillman i runga i te rārangi. Engari ka mahue ia i a Chicago me ana whakatutukitanga i runga i te papa e rite ana ki era i waho. Kua mutu a Charles Tillman i tana mahi i Chicago engari kei te noho tonu ia hei tino pai mo tana mahi i runga i te papa me waho atu o te papa. I hangaia i te rauna tuarua mai i Louisiana Lafeyette i te tau 2003, ka noho a Tillman hei kaihauturu mo te whakangungu a Lovie Smith, nana i akiaki nga Bears ki te Super Bowl XLI. He kaipupuri rekoata mo nga paanga paruru me nga hokinga mai mo nga paanga, ko te tohunga i akiakihia e te tuatoru i runga i te raarangi o nga wa katoa mo te 36 nga paanga. I tiimata ia i te 152 o nga keemu 156, engari i mutu i nga tau e rua kua hipa i runga i te rahui whara i muri i te pakaru o tana triceps matau. I kii a Tillman ko te tupono ki te mahi tahi me Rivera - he kaitakaro Bears o mua i mahi hei kaitohutohu tiaki mai i te 2004-6 - he pai rawa ki te whakakore. He maha nga tohu a Tillman mo te kaitiaki o nga Bears, a he kaitiaki kaha ia mo o ratou kaitiaki i roto i ona tau 12. 'Ki taku whakaaro ko Coach Rivera tētahi o ngā take nui i hiahia ai ahau ki te noho ki konei,' i kī a Tillman. He tangata ia i tino whakahonoretia e au i taku noho ki Chicago. E aroha ana ahau ki tana kaiārahi, ki ona kounga hei kaiako, ā, he pai tana mahi ki ngā Panthers. He rōpū pai o ngā tāngata kei konei pērā i a Thomas Davis, Greg Olsen, Luke Kuechly me Cam Newton. He pai taku whakaaro i konei.' 'He whakangungu rite tēnei, ā, ko Steve Wilks rāua ko Eric Washington i Chicago hoki, nō reira he mōhiotanga.' Mai i te whakatūnga o te Cornerstone Foundation i te tekau tau ki muri, kua whai pānga te mahi atawhai a Tillman ki runga i te miriona tamariki rawakore me ō rātou whānau i te rohe o Chicago. Ko tana mahi me te turanga i whakahonoretia ki te tohu Walter Payton Man of the Year i te tau 2014. I runga i te āhua o te tūponotanga, te...
Kua 12 tau a Tillman e noho ana ki Chicago engari kaore te whakahaere kapa hou i whakapuaki i te hiahia ki te pupuri i ana ratonga. Ko ia tētahi o ngā kaitiaki o Lovie Smith, ā, ka hono anō ia ki a Ron Rivera, ko ia te kaitiaki ārai o ngā Bears i waenganui i te tau 2004-06. Kei a Tillman ētahi rekoata raihana, ā, ka uru atu te tohunga ki te whakawātea i a Sean McDermott. Kua whakahonoretia hoki ia mō tana mahi i roto i te hapori, ā, i riro i a ia te Tohu Walter Payton Man of the Year o te tau 2014.
