Tim Wrightman
Timothy John Wrightman (born March 27, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a tight end. He played for two seasons for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League (NFL).
Wrightman played college football for the UCLA Bruins and was drafted 62nd overall in the third round by the Chicago Bears in the 1982 NFL draft.[1] A contract dispute with the Bears led him to sign with the Chicago Blitz of the United States Football League (USFL),[2][3] thus making him the first NFL draft pick who signed with the now defunct USFL. He later rejoined the NFL and won a Super Bowl ring as a member of the storied 1985 Bears team, and was re-signed to a two-year deal in 1986.[4][5]
Wrightman also holds several acting credits, with appearances in Baywatch, Get Smart, Exit to Eden, and Renegade.[6]
