Theodore Edmond Bridgewater Jr.[1] (born November 10, 1992) is an American former football quarterback who played for 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Bridgewater graduated from Miami Northwestern high school. He went on to play college football for the Louisville Cardinals, leading the Cardinals to an upset victory over the Florida Gators in the 2013 Sugar Bowl. Bridgewater was selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings. During his second season, Bridgewater led the Vikings to a NFC North division title and earned Pro Bowl honors. However, the Vikings narrowly lost their 2015 Wild Card game to the Seattle Seahawks. Upon suffering a severe leg injury the following off-season, Bridgewater appeared in only one game over the next two years.
A free agent following the 2017 season, Bridgewater briefly joined the New York Jets during the 2018 season before signing with the New Orleans Saints in 2019. Serving as the Saints' backup quarterback, he eventually served as the team's starter in relief of Drew Brees. Following his time with the Saints, Bridgewater was later the starting quarterback for the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos for a season each. He signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2022 as a backup before joining the Detroit Lions in 2023. Bridgewater retired after the 2023 season and became the head coach at his alma mater, Miami Northwestern.
