"That was the first thing on my mind," Wetnight said of his family in 2018. "When someone tells you that you have cancer and you've got to get this figured out because if it spreads and it gets to other places, who knows what might happen."
The California native signed with Chicago as an undrafted free agent out of Stanford in 1993. He recorded 172 catches for 1,522 yards and nine touchdowns in 91 games across seven years with the Bears.
He finished his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers in 2000.
