Wait ... who?: NFL fans mistakenly recruit 'NPR' Eric Weddle

For Eric Weddle, Tuesday marked a sad parting of the ways with the Baltimore Ravens.

For another Eric Weddle, it was the most bizarre day of his social media life.

Eric Weddle, the widely respected NFL safety, has the Twitter handle @weddlesbeard. It's a play on his signature facial hair.

Eric Weddle, the education journalist for WFYI, a National Public Radio affiliate in Indianapolis, has the username @ericweddle -- which confused many eager fans looking to lure the six-time Pro Bowl player to their favorite NFL team. It caused this Weddle's phone to vibrate continuously for 10 minutes straight.
