Frank Wycheck, one of the most popular Titans in team history, has died.
Born October 14, 1971, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Wycheck was 52.
Per a statement from the family, "at this time, it appears Wycheck fell inside his Chattanooga, TN home and hit his head on Saturday morning. He was found unresponsive that afternoon."
Wycheck leaves behind two adult daughters, Deanna and Madison, both married, and three grandchildren - Leo, Stevie and August.
The family, per his wishes, plans to work with experts for on-going brain injury (TBI) and CTE research. Funeral services have not yet been made at this time.
Frank Wycheck arrived in the NFL as a sixth-round pick by Washington and he was later signed by the Houston Oilers in 1995 before the team moved to Tennessee. He finished his NFL career with 505 receptions, 5,126 yards and 28 touchdowns over 155 games. Wycheck led the Titans in receiving for three consecutive seasons (1999-2001). The signature play of his career ended up being a lateral on a kickoff return, known simply as the Music City Miracle. It was Wycheck who threw the cross-field pass to Kevin Dyson during the AFC Wild Card game against the Bills on Jan. 8, 2000. Dyson then went 75 yards for a touchdown in Tennessee's win.
Washington selected Wycheck in the sixth round of the 1993 draft out of Maryland. The Oilers claimed Wycheck off waivers after Washington released him in 1995. Over his 11-year career, Wycheck had 505 receptions for 5,126 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Beginning with the 2005 season, Wycheck assumed color commentary duties on the Titans Radio Network. The team announced before the 2017 preseason that Wycheck would step down from being their color commentator due to lingering head issues sustained in his football career.
Wycheck is survived by two daughters, Deanna and Madison, and their spouses; and his grandchildren, Leo, Stevie and August. Per his request, the family plans to work with experts for ongoing brain injury (TBI) and CTE research.
Following his retirement from professional football, Wycheck went on to become a popular radio commentator. He co-hosted morning sports show the “Wake Up Zone,” which was broadcast on Nashville radio station WGFX, and provided color commentary on Titans Radio, a network of more than 40 radio stations offering information and insight on the Tennessee Titans.
Wycheck is survived by his two adult daughters and three grandchildren.
