When Teddy Bridgewater lines up across from the Vikings' defensive front on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, the first Minnesota pass rushers given the opportunity to hit him will have almost no history with him.
Defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson is the only lineman on the Vikings' roster to have spent a season on a team with Bridgewater. Defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo spent the 2017 training camp with the Vikings while Bridgewater was rehabbing from his left knee injury. Odenigbo's return to the team in 2018 came after Bridgewater was gone.
The only familiar faces trying to get to the Panthers quarterback on Sunday will be the ones that come after Bridgewater on blitzes.
