Reports: Former NFLer Charles Tillman now an FBI agent

CHICAGO - Former Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman has become an FBI agent, according to multiple reports.

Sources told ESPN last September that Tillman had enrolled at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, Virginia, in order to pursue a full-time career at the agency.

The FBI does not comment on personnel matters.

Tillman's interest in joining the FBI after football dates back to his playing career, during which Tillman -- according to another source -- occasionally observed and worked alongside law enforcement officials during offseason months.
