Pro Bowler Eric Weddle on Job Security in NFL: 'Teams Don't Look Out for You'

It isn't unusual for Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to watch practice while sitting in a golf cart. It also isn't unusual to see Pro Bowler Terrell Suggs taking that cart for a ride around practice if Bisciotti isn't there.

Sometimes, Suggs' joyride would lead to him inviting teammate Eric Weddle into the cart. Weddle would laugh and then politely decline.

"That's out of my pay grade," Weddle would tell Suggs.

Like almost everyone in the Ravens organization, Suggs loved Weddle. Weddle was one of the most popular players on the team because he was talented, resilient and genuinely enjoyed seeing his teammates prosper.
