Teddy Bridgewater will have Antonio Brown as his special guest when he hosts his next round of Florida workouts.

Teddy Bridgewater’s Minnesota Vikings teammates aren’t the only ones lining up to join the Teddy Two Gloves Passing Academy (as Bridgewater’s workouts have famously been dubbed by Cordarrelle Patterson). Players from opposing teams are now making their way to Florida to work out with Bridgewater as well.

The latest to punch his ticket for the TTGPA? Steelers wide out Antonio Brown.

Mean people on Twitter made obvious jokes about Bridgewater’s deep ball after learning he would be teaming up with Brown for this offseason work.

According to Mike Zimmer, Bridgewater has gotten better at throwing the deep ball this spring, so Brown shouldn’t have to worry about the ball coming in hard and fast and accurate at any distance.

In addition to Brown, several of Bridgewater’s own teammates are expected to make the trek to Florida at some point between now and training camp to work on building more chemistry with their QB.

Rookie Laquon Treadwell was asked if he would be attending the Academy since he missed out on the first round this spring but was non-committal, saying he would have to see how his schedule works out.

Earlier this year, Brown and fellow star receiver Odell Beckham worked with the Vikings’ Xavier Rhodes as part of the fourth-year corner’s attempt to take the next step in his development. Brown appears to enjoy working with guys from the Vikings.

Since you’re probably wondering about it now, Brown doesn’t become a free agent until after the 2017 season.

Working with a receiver as talented as Antonio Brown may help Teddy Bridgewater, but let’s hope he doesn’t get too spoiled. The Vikings have some promising receivers on the roster but none are in Brown’s class.
