As a professional, Wycheck played 11 seasons for the Washington Redskins and the Tennessee Titans, where he threw the lateral pass in the Music City Miracle.

[1][2][3][4] At Archbishop Ryan, Wycheck was twice an All-Catholic running back and graduated as the school’s all-time leading rusher.

[3] As a freshman at Maryland, Wycheck led the Atlantic Coast Conference in receptions with 58 for 509 yards, including a school record 14 catches in a game against Virginia Tech.

[5] In Wycheck's third season, Maryland hired coach Mark Duffner, who switched the team to a run and shoot offence, which tended to use four receivers and no tight end.

[8] Starting out as a receiver, injuries to other Maryland running backs forced Duffner to play Wycheck at running back,[8] where he started the final three games of the season, rushing for a total of 369 yards,[9] including a 162-yard performance in Maryland's 53–23 win over the Clemson Tigers in the season finale.

[13] Wycheck is perhaps most famous for his participation in the Music City Miracle, at the end of the 2000 Wild Card game against the Buffalo Bills.

[22] In the 1999 and 2002 postseasons, he had 14 receptions,[4] twice tying the franchise record previously held jointly by Tim Wilson (1979)[23] and Jackie Harris (also in the 1999 playoffs).

[24] [citation needed] Wycheck also went 5-for-6 passing the ball in his career (all on trick plays), resulting in 148 yards, two touchdowns, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

[27] In 2001, Wycheck "hosted" his own Titan player show with George Plaster and Willy Daunic on WGFX 104.5 FM until he retired from the game.

[29] Before the 2017 Titans preseason, it was announced that Wycheck would step down from being color commentator due to lingering head issues sustained during his football career.
