Houston Texans won against the Chicago Bears in week 2. But Tank Dell didn’t have a good game. In receiving, he caught 1 pass for 3 negative yards. He had a comparatively good rushing game with 3 rushing passes for 16 yards. But the receiver had very good publicity. Everyone was amazed at the person wearing a chain with the number 3. He has none other than Tyler Sherry.

Sherry is associated with Texans as their Equipment Assistant. The official chain wearer has been associated with sports all his life.

Who is Tyler Sherry?

He was born to Kenneth Sherry and Rene Sherry in Spanaway, Washington. Kenneth loved sports, particularly baseball, and always pushed his son (Tyler) to play sports. He did, but life had other plans for him. After studying at Washington High School, Parkland, he moved to Washington State University in 2015. Tyler Sherry pursued a Bachelor of Arts (BA) with a major in Sport Management with a minor in Business Management and Communication, which he passed in 2019.

The chain wearer worked in various other activities, such as a summer associate at Sherwin-Williams. Even at WSU, he was a student assistant in the Athletics department. With a knack for filmmaking, he was responsible for making highlight reels for social media. In 2019, he was an equipment intern for Demon Deacons. After graduation, he was forced to look for other options. And he found one. In 2020, Tyler Sherry landed a job at Wake Forest University as Assistant Director of Football Equipment Services.

He has gained management experience from some unusual places for a football assistant. From May to July 2018, he worked as a shop assistant at Depalo & Sons Auto Body in Huntington, New York. He is also proficient in brand and image management. His viral images with the No. 3 chain show that.

All of this happened after his sports career while studying.

Tyler Sherry’s life before the sidelines

Influenced by his father’s love for sports, the son was active in baseball and football during high school. He stood at a towering 6’2″ and 220 pounds when he played boys’ varsity football as a tackle. The ‘Big Red’ also played baseball as a first baseman. Though he was good during high school, he couldn’t replicate that success during his university days.

Tyler Sherry then worked on sponsorship and mentorship. While studying at WSU, he led a team of 7 high school students. To give back to the community, the equipment assistant arranged a charitable event and raised $500 for a women’s organization. Now, he is in the big league.

A family man, he often brings out his family to NFL games. And his father loves it. He has been a sports buff his whole life. The Texans’ staff is enjoying the newly gained fame. Stay connected. We will keep bringing such stories to you.
