Zachary Christian Walz (born February 13, 1976) is a former professional
Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, California. He currently resides in Arizona with his wife, Annette and kids. Walz had a close relationship with Cardinals teammate and future army member Pat Tillman. They both grew up playing high school football in Northern California where they would eventually play against each other in a senior all star game. Pat and Zack were drafted one round apart in 1998.[1] They were roommates during their time together with the Arizona Cardinals. During his rookie year, Walz didn't bring the veterans breakfast as instructed and was subsequently taped to a goal post. Tilman saw this, grabbed scissors, walked outside, and despite being told by veterans not to help, he cut Walz down.[2]
