MANKATO, Minn. — There’s a good chance Teddy Bridgewater knows what his Buccaneers counterpart is encountering.
A year ago Bridgewater had just completed his first NFL game, going 6-for-13 for 49 yards passing in his preseason debut against the Raiders.
Fast forward to this season, and another first-round quarterback is about to make his debut in Minnesota.
Jameis Winston, the first overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, and the Buccaneers will play the Vikings at 7 p.m. Saturday at the University of Minnesota, but Bridgewater said the atmosphere will be different for Winston than it was in college.
