It is said the eyes are the windows to the soul. For Eric Weddle, his entire face conveys plenty.
It's true the 31-year-old safety needs his eyes to survey defensive teammates pushing away from him and the offensive skill players coming toward him. Those eyes helped him lead the San Diego Chargers in tackles four times and took him to three Pro Bowls.
But on the Ravens' practice field, the smile and enthusiasm radiating from Weddle's mouth and cheeks is indicative of someone who seems rejuvenated, having the time of his life with an organization that not only wanted him, but needed someone of his ilk to bolster an inconsistent secondary.
