"“It is a little bit each and every day, and yet he seems to be one of the most positive and energetic guys, whether it is around the locker room, out here as an individual, at practice walking up and down, keeping everybody involved,” Kyle Rudolph said. “That is why everybody loves him, and that is something that makes him such a special kid.”"
Bridgewater has a special charisma that makes him easy to appreciate. Ever since he was drafted by Minnesota, fans have embraced Teddy and his approach to the game. He always seems to be working hard to improve his craft, as teammate Laquon Treadwell attests.
"“He tells me he’s spent a lot of time studying film. A lot of things he would say he was messing up on, he’s looked 10 times better this year. When you go through an injury like that, film is your friend. You’ve just got to stay hungry and believe in yourself. He’ll be fine. He looks great — really great. It’s like he was never hurt.”"
