Everything You Need to Know About Eric Weddle

Weddle was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He was one of the most popular Chargers players of all time. He has a winning personality and plays with his passion on his sleeve. This high octane safety has been voted to three Pro Bowls. In 2011 he led the NFL in interceptions. He has logged 849 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 19 interceptions and he has scored four defensive touchdowns. Weddle comes to Baltimore as accomplished as any player on the Ravens roster.

The 31-year-old defensive back, had a tumultuous ending to his Chargers career. His daughter was performing at halftime at the Chargers game. Instead of going into the locker room he stayed on the side line and watched his daughter perform. The Chargers fined the proud father $10,000 for this. At that moment Chargers fans pretty much knew that Weddle wasn’t coming back to the team.

Weddle will be a great player for the Ravens. He will be the strong safety, which became obvious after Will Hill was cut. Weddle will be the quarterback of the Ravens secondary. He will make sure things happen the way they’re supposed to. The veteran safety is a great athlete who will roam around the field. He has the ability to play in the box and play deep down the field with the same effectiveness. When Weddle is on the field, you know he is going to give you every ounce of effort he has.
