Former All-Pro safety Eric Weddle, who played under John Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens from 2016 to 2018, recently shared high praise for the New York Giants<\/a> head coach on the Ross Tucker Podcast.<\/p>\n

Weddle was asked to identify Harbaugh\u2019s best quality as a leader.<\/p>\n

“Harbs is one of the best coaches,” Weddle said. “His greatest attribute\u2026 he was always honest. He was very direct. He always had a plan and a vision. I was with him for three years, and he learned to rely on the leaders and the guys that he trusted on the team.<\/p>\n

“He met with us weekly; he wanted to check in — how we were doing, what the status of the team was, like, was there anything going on. I think one of the greatest attributes for a coach — and you have to earn this — is a coach that listens to his team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weddle\u2019s comments highlight the open communication and trust that defined Harbaugh\u2019s Ravens tenure, qualities that will follow him to East Rutherford, as Ravens running back Derrick Henry recently noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
