After 13 seasons in the NFL, former Baltimore Ravens safety Eric Weddle is hanging up his cleats. Weddle announced his retirement on Twitter, posting a list of his stats and accomplishments while giving a shoutout to the three teams he played with and the players and coaches that went on the ride along with him.

In 13 seasons, Weddle went to the Pro Bowl six times and was an All-Pro twice. He’ll finish his career with 29 interceptions which he returned for 467 yards and four touchdowns. Weddle also forced eight fumbles, recovered seven, and returned one for a touchdown.

Though Weddle only played three years with the Ravens, he was well respected by his teammates, the coaching staff and fans. When he was cut from Baltimore last offseason, Weddle contemplated retiring before joining the Los Angeles Rams for one final run.
