wow that’s crazy to me. I met him downtown many years ago when he was still playing. Sitting a a bar waiting on a Preds friend of his. Told him he was on my FF team (lame I know, but he was), he even got on my phone when a buddy didn’t believe I was sitting next to him. Straight up class act guy, sad to see this.

Sounds like a Bob Saggot situation hitting his head.

RIP Frank Wycheck, and prayers out to his family and loved ones. I'm 3 years older than Frank. Really makes you think how special and delicate our time on Earth is.

A friend of mines father died when he passed and fell off a loading dock hitting head. Freak accidents.

He was living with his daughter because he was having issues. His daughters donated his brain for CTE research.

From 2017:

Ex-Titans TE Wycheck believes he has CTE

Ex-Titans TE Frank Wycheck, who believes he has CTE, told ESPN he hasn't opened up much about his daily life in great detail regarding his condition and his fears because, "It's kind of creepy."

RIP... Way too young.


Doug Flutie would've won that game.

Followed Wycheck from the time he was at Maryland, which the Washington Post covers extensively. Really made something of himself after being drafted in the sixth round. Of course, we're familiar with sixth round success stories. Sorry to see him go so young.
