With the 32nd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings have selected QB Teddy Bridgewater out of Louisville.
Position: Quarterback
Measurables: 6’2”, 214 lbs, 33” arm length, 9 ¼” hands
Bridgewater has a 2011 Big East Freshman of the Year award and a 2012 Big East Offensive Player of the Year award to his credit – with 2013 being just as impressive for Louisville’s star quarterback. Last season. Bridgewater went 303-for-427 for 3,970 yards, 31 touchdowns and just four interceptions. He finished with a 27-8 record in Louisville’s pro-style offense, and boasted a 113-inch broad jump and 4.20-second 20-yard shuttle at the NFL Combine.
Teddy Bridgewater’s intangibles are his greatest asset, possessing an extreme drive to both succeed and learn. He is well-versed in the NFL style of quarterback-play, and won’t require a ton of retooling in order to be game-ready for NFL competition. His mechanics are solid and his footwork is on point, using both his natural leadership qualities and innate understanding of the game to his advantage.
