Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: The Scouts Were Dead Wrong on Bridgewater

Do you remember?

Do you remember when Teddy Bridgewater, now a growing star, once fell down draft boards?

Do you remember when his critics said he was too small, despite standing at 6'2" and 214 pounds? His hands were supposedly too small. His decision not to throw at the combine hurt him, even though Johnny Manziel didn't. Or Derek Carr.

He was too quiet, which supposedly meant he couldn't be a leader. His pro day wasn't great. We heard about his skinny knees. Then came one of the most ridiculous things of all, one of the most outrageous things ever stated about a draft prospect.
