Erik Bradley Wilhelm (born November 16, 1965 is a former American football quarterback best remembered for his play in the National Football League from 1989 to 1997. Wilhelm was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL in the 3rd round of the 1989 NFL Draft following four years at Oregon State University where he set a number of school passing records. During his six-year NFL career Wilhelm was a backup to the durable Boomer Esiason, seeing action in a total of 23 games, starting just once.
After his time in the NFL Wilhelm played arena football for the Portland Prowlers of the Indoor Professional Football League in 2000 and for the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League in 2001.
Erik Bradley Wilhelm was born November 19, 1965 in the American city of Dayton, Ohio.
Wilhelm began playing high school football at Gladstone High School in Gladstone, Oregon, located 12 miles south of Portland, the state's biggest city. During his first three seasons the left-handed quarterback developed and emerged as a fledgling star, gaining honors as a junior in 1982 when he was named to the Class-AA Oregon All-State team.
In the summer of 1983 Wilhelm's family moved to Lake Oswego, Oregon, another Portland suburb, with Erik enrolling at Lakeridge High School for his senior year. There he quickly won the role of starting quarterback, taking over for the school's recently graduated Class-AAA All-State quarterback, Todd Beahm. The highly touted Wilhelm's collegiate options were broad and he accepted a scholarship to Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, where he enrolled in the fall of 1984.
