The Baltimore Ravens may be thought of as the most talented secondary in the NFL, but former Ravens safety Eric Weddle sees a more talented corner duo…

Since the end of the 2018 season, there has been a large consensus that the Baltimore Ravens boast the leagues best and deepest secondary. One player not among those believers though is former Ravens safety Eric Weddle:

While appearing on NFL Total Access last Friday, former Ravens safety Eric Weddle discussed his new defense in Los Angeles and praised the players he will be lining up with this season. Among those he praised were cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters. Here’s what he said:

"“Those guys are super, super smart,” Weddle said of the cornerbacks. “The instincts are off the charts. Play-making ability. … Those two are the best I’ve ever played with in my career of guys that play with vision, play the ball, understand routes, trust a safety that is going to alert them and put them in a position to make plays knowing that I have their backs. “I’m extremely excited to get on the field with them, give ’em those live reps, live-game atmosphere and take this secondary to the next level.” —Eric Weddle, Los Angeles Rams safety"

Weddle called Talib and Peters the two best cornerbacks he’s played with in his career… just a few months after spending two seasons with Jimmy Smith and Marlon Humphrey.

I’m not sure if Weddle is just being a good teammate and trying to hype up the fans or what, but I’m sure Smith and Humphrey would have something to say about his comments. Eric Weddle has yet to play an official snap with his new squad and is already crowning them as the best he’s played with. Let’s take a look at how the two duos compare…
