SALT LAKE CITY — Eric Weddle is one of the best safeties Utah football has ever seen.

He's also a Super Bowl champion. Now at 38 years old, Weddle is back in high school as the head coach of the Rancho Bernardo Broncos.

"Giving back to the community and the boys, and trying to get these guys right — not only on the field but off," Weddle said. "It's a fun challenge and I'm enjoying every second of it."

We sat down with Weddle in his San Diego home, talking football, his family, as well as his faith.
