So what it is that makes Eric Weddle special? Well, let's start with the versatility. In 2005, he started at safety but moved to cornerback near the end of the season and played the position so well he held Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson to two catches for 19 yards in the Emerald Bowl.
Johnson is the best player in the draft, but Weddle was the Defensive MVP of that game.
"I pride myself on preparation," Weddle said of his bowl performance. "I had four weeks to prepare for a player of (Johnson's) caliber. You have to bring your A-plus game. If you film-study you can eliminate stuff ... you can eliminate 90 percent of what the guy's going to do just based by his split, his release.
Wow! He held CJ to 19 yards. That’s impressive! I also like the fact he prides himself on preparation. Weddle and Kampman can be film room buddies.
The CB out of Troy had CJ to 9 yards. He isn't even entering the draft. Calvin Johnson wasn't as dominant as people think that he was. However, I would like Weddle, I'd prefer Landry, but with TT's faith in Manuel, I don't see that happening.
I like the 16th pick (CB, receiver, OL, DE) and Weddle over Landry, though.
CJ had an awful QB throwing him the ball and not much around him. I remember watching Tech play on ESPN last fall and Herbstreet kept commenting on how open CJ was time after time and how Ball wasn't getting him the ball.
