Last season, Teddy Bridgewater was thrust into a starting role for the Minnesota Vikings following a season-ending injury to veteran Matt Cassel. The plan was to let Bridgewater sit and learn behind Cassel for a season before seeing what the rookie could do in a regular season game. One thing that Vikings fans have learned over the years is that nothing ever seems to go to plan.
Now, Teddy Bridgewater isn’t a rookie anymore. He’s had a full year to absorb what the team expects from him, figure out what he needs to improve upon, learn how to get command of the huddle and be a team leader.
