Former Arizona Cardinals defensive back Jimmy Legree is wearing a different kind of uniform these days.
Legree, 28, began Basic Combat Training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma back in December after enlisting in the Army to pursue a career as a communications specialist -- something he says was always a childhood goal.
"I went a different route by going to college and playing football, but once that window was closed I reverted back to my Plan A, which was joining the military," Legree said, according to Army.mil.

I just heard this myself and previously, Pat Tillman of the Cardinals enlisted after 911... so these players are inspirational, to me, it[s a bit like Legree is carrying the torch and it's noble of him to do this.
