As an All-American linebacker, David Hoffmann won a national championship with the Washington Huskies. Despite being selected by the Chicago Bears in the NFL draft, Hoffmann went on to spend 23 years as a member of the Secret Service protecting former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

As such, Hoffmann is in a unique position to criticize the Secret Service after a 20-year-old gunman came within inches of assassinating former president Donald Trump last weekend in Pennsylvania.

“I’ll tell you it’s very frustrating,” Hoffmann said to TMZ. “It just really [makes you mad] that this happened.”

Hoffmann didn’t stop there, either.

“Sometimes everybody says ‘things happen,’ but this is something that just can’t happen. This is inexcusable. And it’s something that everybody needs to take a real hard dive at and look into this.”

Hoffmann went on to say that there should be tryouts for the teams assigned to the president.

“I think everybody would agree with putting the best people out there, having tryouts for everything, having to make these teams,” Hoffmann said.
“And that’s why it was a treat for me to be a part of the counter-assault team. You always had to perform. You were tested. You had to show performance. Physically, mentally, emotionally. And that’s something I think should be across the board.”
