Wynn started his collegiate career the University of Minnesota but finished at Southwest Texas State. Wynn was selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns, 16 picks ahead of Tom Brady. Wynn was mobile with a strong but inaccurate arm and was deemed not ready for the NFL coming from his small school background. After throwing seven interceptions and fumbling five times in 10 appearances over two years, Spergon headed for Canada. His first two years with the Lions (2003-2004)and then single seasons with Winnipeg (2005) before being traded to Toronto for safety Mike Crumb in February 2006. Even though he had been a spot starter in the NFL with both the Browns (1 game) and Vikings (2 games), all of his stops in the CFL were in a role as backup, with intermittent starts in 2003 and four consecutive Argo starts 2006 when Damon Allen was lost with a broken finger. He was injured in two of those games (shoulder and a head injury that resulted in a fine to Roughrider Scott Schultz), and gave way to Eric Crouch. Later Allen returned and Wynn appeared only occasionally on the field especially after Michael Bishop rejoined the team during the season that was best known for the Argos futile attempts to lure Doug Flutie back over the border again.
