While he was grinding out that life in football, which started at the age of five and ended when he was 32, Wycheck also suffered, by his own estimation, 297,000 hits and 25 concussions. Now Wycheck is coming forward to shed light on what he believes could be a battle with the dreaded brain disease CTE, which has directly or indirectly claimed the lives of untold NFL vets over the years. In an interview with ESPN, Wycheck admitted that he suffers from anxiety, depression, and migraines in addition to back and neck pain. He also expressed his fear that he would one day end up as yet another NFL player to commit suicide: "I worry about, I'm scared about the time if I actually get to that point where these guys [who have committed suicide] have snapped," he said. "What has made them snap? And that is what I am scared of, that there is something that is going to come over me that is going to make me snap. "I don't think I am going to do it, but those guys you would never think in a million years would. And that's the scary part about it. There is no one that can tell you really anything. It's just, the damage is done."
