A Look Back At Devon Wylie’s Career
Fresno State mourned the passing of their former student. On their X/Twitter handle, Fresno State shared a photo of Devon while at Fresno and captioned the post, “Forever a Bulldog.”
They further wrote, “Our thoughts are with the Wylie family during this difficult time.”
After completing high school at Granite Bay, Devon joined Fresno State in 2007. In his first year at Fresno, Devon played 11 games and was a return specialist. He started his second year with an injury that kept him out of the team for four games.
But upon his return, the wide receiver ended the season with 21 receptions, third highest in the team. He also scored his first touchdown that year.
In his junior year, Wylie led the team with four touchdown receptions through the first six games. But injuries once again kept him out. He ended the season as fourth highest on the list for receiving yards.
In his fifth year with Fresno, Yahoo! named Devon on the third-team All-American list as a punt returner.
He was also recognized as an honorable mention All-America pick as a punt returner by Sports Illustrated. In 2012, Devon was drafted by the Chiefs in the fourth round.
He had a short career with the Chiefs, which lasted only six regular season games. During his career, he was signed by seven other NFL teams, including the Rams, 49ers, and the Seahawks. But he only made it to the practice squad and was constantly waived.
The last known team he signed for was the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL. He signed with them in 2016 but was released a year later in 2017.
