Frank Wycheck was born October 14, 1971 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is a former tight end in the National Football League. Drafted in the sixth round of the 1993 NFL Draft out of the University of Maryland by the Washington Redskins, Wycheck was released by the Redskins in 1995 and picked up by the Houston Oilers. Wycheck continued to play for that franchise (later known as the Tennessee Oilers and Tennessee Titans) until his retirement following the 2003 season.
Upon the Oilers franchise’s transition into Tennessee, Wycheck quickly adopted Nashville as his hometown (even before the team officially left Houston), and thereby became one of the most visible players in the community. When the team reached enormous popularity in Nashville, Wycheck’s stellar performance on the field and visibility in the media helped him become one of the most popular players on the team. Even following his retirement, he remains a popular public figure in Middle Tennessee. Wycheck is now a sports talk radio host and does color commentary for the Titans Radio Network.
