Ravens players react to Eric Weddle’s retirement announcement

You can tell just how respected and beloved safety Eric Weddle was by his peers in the NFL when he announced his retirement. The outpouring of congratulations and respect from his former Baltimore Ravens teammates was immediate and staggering. Within minutes, several Ravens had tweeted at Weddle to give their own personal take on the news.

Though he only spent three years in Baltimore, Weddle was widely considered to be one of the smartest players on the roster. Thanks to nearly a decade of experience when the Ravens signed him, Weddle was an on-field general for Baltimore.

Fellow safety Tony Jefferson, who played beside Weddle for those three years, sent out two tweets to not only congratulate him but to offer thanks for his mentorship.

Here are the rest of the reactions from Ravens players to Weddle’s retirement news.
