Dave Wyman
American football linebacker
David Matthew Wyman (born March 31, 1964) is an American former professional football player, a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos.
Early life
Born in San Diego, California, Wyman attended Earl Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada, and graduated in 1982. He played college football at Stanford University, 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 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.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american football linebacker” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3019018. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1964, 1982, 1983 and 1984.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
