Charles "Peanut" Tillman is trading in his cleats for a career in law enforcement.
Tillman recent began training to join the FBI, according to the Chicago Tribune's high-ranking law enforcement source.
Tillman retired from the NFL after signing a one-day contract with the Chicago Bears in July 2016.
He was a former two-time Pro Bowler and Walter Payton Man of the Year in 2013. He joined FOX's kickoff show last year before aiming for the FBI.
