It’s not every day that we praise a former Louisville player, but some things are bigger than rivalries. Yesterday, former UofL and current Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suffered a dislocated knee and a torn ACL when he went down during a non-contact drill at practice. The injury was apparently so gruesome that Bridgewater’s teammates became sick after seeing it and dropped to their knees in prayer, but fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Bridgewater will miss the 2016 season, but is expected to make a full recovery.
I’m sure the Louisville trolls in the comments will roll their eyes at this, but Teddy is one of the few Louisville players I couldn’t help but like because he genuinely seems like a nice guy and a class act.
