Allen Park — One of the hardest positions for a rookie to adjust to in the NFL is quarterback. In the Lions' two meetings against the Vikings last season, they saw two different teams, largely because of the improved play of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
The Lions swept both games from their division rival for the first time since 1997, but they were privy firsthand to the Bridgewater's development during his rookie season.
Compounded with the difficult transition to the NFL, Bridgewater didn't have the luxury of All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson. The Vikings offense struggled a bit last season, but Bridgewater was able to right the ship and to gain some confidence toward the end of the year, helping the Vikings to a 7-9 finish.
