Question
What do Alan Page and the late Pat Tillman have in common? Looking for something both did during the offseason while active NFL players.
Answer
Each ran a marathon. Neither team was excited about it. Especially the Vikings. They waived Page in 1978 after his distance running contributed to his weight dropping to 222 pounds – light for a defensive tackle. The Pat Tillman Foundation hosts 4.2-mile charity runs in his honor around the country (Tillman wore jersey No. 42 at Arizona State) each April. There were 36 such runs this year, completed on Saturday. Details can be seen at the Pat Tillman Foundation web page.
