FB Video: Former Utah Utes safety Eric Weddle college highlights

After an amazing college career that resulted in two All-American nods, former Utah safety Eric Weddle had an NFL career that included six Pro Bowls and five All-Pro teams. Enjoy his career highlights at Utah that set the stage for being named to the NFL's all-decade team.

When Eric Weddle left the University of Utah on 2006, he did so after posting one of the greatest four-year careers by a Ute.

As a freshman in 2003, Weddle started the final nine games of the season at right cornerback en route to being named all-Mountain West honorable mention and a freshman all-American.

In his sophomore season, Weddle emerged as a full-time starter but at the strong safety position, which would eventually become his home in the NFL.

As a junior, the accolades started to role in as Weddle — he earned second-team All-American honors, first-team all-Mountain West and MWC defensive player of the year. He showcased his versatility this season, starting at strong safety in five games, at left cornerback in four and as a nickel back in the other three.

Weddle wrapped up his career by being named a consensus All-American, unanimous all-Mountain West player and MWC defensive player of the year. But he also showcased his skillset on offense when he rushed for 203 yards and five scores.
