Wyman was selected by the Seahawks in the second round of the 1987 NFL draft with the 45th overall selection.[6] Midway through his rookie year in 1987, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers,[7] but a failed physical due to a bad left shoulder nullified it.[8] Wyman played six seasons for the Seahawks, but left as a free agent before the 1993 season[9][10] and played his final three years with the Broncos.

Wyman and Brian Bosworth were next-door neighbors on the Eastside while they were teammates with the Seahawks.[11]

After football

Wyman returned to the Seattle area and is a popular co-host of the afternoon radio show Wyman and Bob on KIRO 710, part of the ESPN Radio network. He is a frequent contributor to Seahawks Saturday Night on KCPQ television, the Seattle Fox affiliate.

Wyman took over as the Seahawks radio analyst for the final four regular season games in December 2017 after Warren Moon took an indefinite leave of absence to resolve a sexual harassment case against him.[12] In 2018, Wyman permanently replaced Moon on Seahawks radio.

Personal life

Wyman married Shannen Forrest of Edmonds in May 1993;[10] they met while she was a member of the Sea Gals and they have two children.[13]

Older brother Mike Wyman also played college football at Stanford, as a defensive tackle; both started for the Cardinal defense in 1983.[14]
