It was 25 years ago that the Dearborn Heights Robichaud star was an All-State selection before his Michigan career

Tyrone Wheatley couldn't believe it had been 25 years.

Honored by the National Football Foundation Sunday for the 25th anniversary of his appearing on the Free Press Dream Team, Wheatley was stunned at where the years had gone.

One of the greatest football players in state history, shining especially in 1990 with his 2,010 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns, he warranted the honor.
