Eric Weddle's Ring of Honor Moment | Salt Lake City News

Eric Weddle is being honored with a spot in the University of Utah’s Ring of Honor this Saturday — a fitting tribute for a true legend who dominated college football as a consensus All-American in 2006 and went on to have a stellar 14-year NFL career. Joining elite company like Alex Smith and Roy Jefferson, Weddle checked every box: school records, All-American honors, and a long pro run — plus he was a game-changer on the field, leading the undefeated 2004 team, forcing fumbles at a league-high rate, and tying an interception return TD record. His former teammate and now head coach, Morgan Scalley, praised his unmatched football IQ and athleticism. Beyond his playing days, Weddle made a surprise comeback for the Rams’ Super Bowl run, even calling defensive plays from the booth. And it’s a family affair — his son Gaige, a top safety recruit, will be visiting Utah during the celebration, symbolizing the legacy that continues to grow.
