With the time off and the rigorous schedule that comes with being an NFL football player in his past, Coffee pondered what he’d do with his life. He tried out a few different things, including boxing. He even got into some trouble — he was arrested on a weapons charge that was later dropped. It wasn’t until watching Tears of the Sun — a 2003 Bruce Willis movie where Willis played a Navy SEAL who leads “a mission to rescue a doctor and refugees during a Nigerian civil war” — that Coffee realized what he wanted to do. That’s when he chose to enlist.

I guess good for him, but after reading that article he sounds way less like a Pat Tillman and more like a 17 year old kid not sure what to do with his life.
