It was a call Eric Weddle never would\\u2019ve anticipated when he hung up his jersey for what he thought was the last time two years earlier. But the Los Angeles Rams were in desperate need of a safety and asked if Weddle would don the jersey for one last run. Weddle certainly didn\\u2019t feel he was NFL Playoff ready, but he\\xa0was\\xa0in good physical shape\\xa0and\\xa0has never been one to pass up an\\xa0opportunity. So with the encouragement of his wife and kids, Weddle left his\\xa0carpool duties\\xa0as a father\\xa0for a time and set out on an unlikely quest to win a Super Bowl. When the Super Bowl was over, he happily returned to the carpool.\\xa0

\\u201cThe world and everything outside doesn\\u2019t want us to be close to the Savior, doesn\\u2019t want us to have stability and doesn\\u2019t want us to have families and a core unit at home that we rely on each other\\u2026they don\\u2019t want that. And it can bring us down but if you just try your best, your best is all that is needed.\\u201d\\xa0
