Shocking News: I am not in any competition or interested with anything

As you have probably heard by now, Detroit Lions backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has decided to retire from the NFL. According to a report from The Portal, Bridgewater has been named as the next head coach at his alma mater, Miami Northwestern High School.

Teddy Bridgewater, selected in the first round by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014, experienced a promising start to his NFL career before it was abruptly interrupted by a severe knee injury—a torn ACL and dislocated knee—during a training camp before the 2016 season. Now 31, the former Northwestern standout quarterback has also played for the Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, and Detroit Lions, amassing 15,120 passing yards and 75 touchdowns in his professional career. Bridgewater’s prowess was evident early on, as he impressively threw for 6,712 yards and 70 touchdowns over three seasons during his high school career with the Bulls.

Here is what Bridgewater said back in December about having a bigger purpose than just playing the game of football.

“Outside of that, I’m Theodore Bridgewater, so it just put everything into perspective, and it really helped me not even have to think about not being a starter [anymore],” Bridgewater said back in December. “It’s like, ‘Man, I still got purpose.’ And my purpose is bigger than the game of football. Football is just a platform that I have.”

Teddy Bridgewater’s journey from a first-round NFL draft pick to overcoming adversity and now stepping into a coaching role at Miami Northwestern High School illustrates a profound evolution in his professional and personal life. His commitment to finding purpose beyond the gridiron and using his platform to influence the next generation showcases a legacy that transcends his on-field achievements. As Bridgewater embarks on this new chapter, his story serves as a testament to the impact athletes can have when they channel their experiences, leadership, and values towards nurturing future talents.

All-Pro wideout Amon Ra St. Brown has already forgotten last Sunday’s NFC Championship loss.

St. Brown tallied 1515 receiving yards and scored ten touchdowns in 16 games. It was a remarkable year for St. Brown.

After participating in various challenges on Thursday night, St. Brown joined the ESPN desk and confirmed his vision for next season.

“I mean, we can’t wait. We’ve got some unfinished business.”

Detroit Lions tackle Penei Sewell is participating in the NFL’s Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Florida this week.

One of the perks of being selected to the Pro Bowl Games is the opportunity to visit one or more of the many theme parks in the city. Sewell and teammate Jahmyr Gibbs paid a visit to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure on Friday. The former Oregon star and Gibbs decided the try out the park’s “Jurassic Park’s VelociCoaster” ride.

According to the park’s website, the “VelociCoaster,” is the “fastest and tallest launch coaster in Florida.” At the very start of the ride, riders are launched to a speed of 70 mph in just 2.4 seconds. Later, riders experience “one of the most unique elements of the ride, a 155-foot tall “Top Hat” which gives you the illusion of flying over Islands of Adventure for a moment before dropping 140 feet down at 80 degrees.”

A photo of Sewell and Gibbs on the ride was posted on TikTok by user @kokonutwtr. Based on the expressions of the two, it’s hard to tell if they were having fun or terrified.
