Young pro athletes keep dropping dead. Do you think this is normal? It’s NOT. Never happened in my lifetime- until 2021. Since then…hundreds have dropped dead. If you don’t know why, you’re blind, deaf & very dumb.https://t.co/x387GSd9xa

The former receiver had an up-and-down career due to constant injuries that led him to be part of the practice squads of the Arizona Cardinals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Rams, Raiders and Atlanta Falcons.
Sadness
His last two years of his career were spent with the Toronto Argonauts, of the Canadian Football League, in 2016 and 2017. In his time in college football he shone with the Fresno State Bulldogs from 2007 to 2011, an institution that issued a message of condolences.
“Forever a Bulldog. Our thoughts are with the Wylie family during this difficult time,” was the Bulldogs’ statement. Fresno State special teams coordinator John Baxter, who had Devon under his command, also mourned the death.
“I can’t believe this, this is a tremendous loss. Being someone’s trainer is a blessing beyond words and a lifelong relationship. This is a tragic loss beyond words. What a great Bulldog, brother, son and teammate! We love you! Devon Wylie, born Bulldog,” he wrote.
