EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — An easy smile, slender build and soft, self-effacing voice. They seem to bely Teddy Bridgewater's status with the Minnesota Vikings.
This rising star quarterback almost comes across as a choir boy.
Well, he is.
No, seriously.
"I just joined this year," Bridgewater said after a recent practice. "Mount Olive Primitive Baptist Church, in Miami."
That's the congregation Bridgewater was raised in and remains a member of. His grandfather and uncle both sing in the male chorus.
"So I was attending the service one Sunday and heard them singing and just told myself that I wanted to join the choir," Bridgewater said.
