SAN DIEGO -- As an undrafted rookie out of Central Michigan for the San Diego Chargers in 2013, Jahleel Addae adopted one simple rule when he arrived at Chargers Park: follow veteran safety Eric Weddle.
Addae switched from running back to safety in college and didn’t have much time to work at the position, so there were a lot of nuances to pick up at the next level. Addae had a steep learning curve, and helping to bridge that cap was an All-Pro safety in Weddle.
Having the opportunity to glean information from a player like Weddle helped Addae, 26, get on the field for the Chargers early in his NFL career.
