Not even the most biased of Minnesota Vikings fans would consider Teddy Bridgewater a "top tier" quarterback at this point in his career. Bridgewater showed plenty of promise his rookie season, but also plenty of room to improve in several areas.
So where does Bridgewater rank in the NFL quarterback hierarchy heading into his second year in the league? Glad you asked. Mike Sando of ESPN recently released one of the better preseason reads around: his annual quarterback tiers column.
