Always happy to see players succeeding in their post-NFL lives.
Did we ever confirm

from BBI lore in the late 90s that Wheatley actually logged on to BBI? I remember a time "he" came on to the forum and was talking with fans about his time living in Ramsey, among other things.
Congrats!

Actually a very nice guy. Always happy to see good things happen for him.
Yes. He did.

I was actually in his Ramsey home several times. My friend was a cop in Ramsey and knew him quite well-actually left us a couple of game tickets several times. He was very up front with the fact that his playing issues under Fassell were on him. I was very happy for him when he had a terrific season with the Raiders.Really nice guy.
As a long time supporter

Good for Tyrone.

I used to see him all the time, as he lived less than a mile from me, and I’d see him out in his yard with his Pitt bulls when I was out for a run. I met him at a couple of Ramsey HS games when his nephew was playing there, and he couldn’t have been nicer. I hope it works out.

So excited when we drafted him. That was as excited as I ever got about this guy. Several accounts have him as a really good guy. I wish him luck.

Good grief brother, that was a long time ago. Let that slide from your memory, you grumpy old man :)
it's interesting that he's pursued a coaching career  
Greg from LI : 1/26/2023 4:23 pm : link
Since, as a player, he had a reputation of a guy who didn't really love football.
Not loving football?

Could not be further from the truth. Don't believe what you read from idiot beat writers looking to make a story out of nothing or become clickable.
