Dave Wyman


David Matthew Wyman is a former professional football player, a linebacker in the National Football League for nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos.

Early years

Born in San Diego, California, Wyman attended Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada, and graduated in 1982. He played college football at Stanford, where he led the team in tackles as a sophomore in 1983 and again in 1984, but incurred a knee injury in the penultimate game. Wyman redshirted in 1985 and returned in 1986 to lead the Cardinal with 169 tackles and was All-Pac-10.

Professional career

Wyman was selected by the Seahawks in the second round of the 1987 NFL Draft with the 45th overall selection. Midway through his rookie year in 1987, he was traded to the San Francisco 49ers, but a failed physical due to a bad left shoulder nullified it. Wyman played six seasons for the Seahawks, but left as a free agent before the 1993 season 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.

After football

Wyman returned to the Seattle area and is a co-host of the afternoon radio show Bob, Dave & Moore 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 served as the Seahawks radio analyst for the final 4 regular season games in December 2017 after Warren Moon took an indefinite leave of absence to resolve a sexual harassment case against him and will be the interim analyst for 2018 until Moon comes back.

Personal

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