Sports Illustrated revealed their All-Rookie Team today in an article posted by Doug Farrar. There are a lot of talented players on the team, but only one player from the Minnesota Vikings made their list on the offensive side of the ball. That man was quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
Bridgewater made huge strides his rookie year, passing for 2,919 yards for 14 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Included in his statistics, is a 64.4% completion percentage and 47 rushing attempts for 209 yards and 1 rushing touchdown. He will act as that starter on the Sports Illustrated All-Rookie Team with Oakland Raiders passer Derek Carr as his backup.
Here is the entire offensive Sports Illustrated All-Rookie Team:
