Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater coming into his own with quiet ... - FOXSports.com
They seem to bely Teddy Bridgewater's status with the Minnesota Vikings. "I just joined this year," Bridgewater said after a recent practice. That's the congregation Bridgewater was raised in and remains a member of. His grandfather and uncle both sing in the male chorus. "So I was attending the service one Sunday and heard them singing and just told myself that I wanted to join the choir," Bridgewater said. "I stood on the back wall and protected the doors and everything," Bridgewater said. Just about everywhere else, from the inner-city playgrounds of his native Miami to his college campus in Kentucky to his professional home in Minnesota, he's been in front. "I just happened to be one of the most talented guys growing up," Bridgewater said, pausing to interject in case he suddenly sounded cocky: "I say that with the most humility. Kids typically look up to the talented guy, after all. "So I've always been in that position," he said. Bridgewater wouldn't be here if he didn't have the resolve to command a huddle. Several times during his rookie season, Bridgewater was asked by reporters about being the face of the franchise. His ready-made response was that the Vikings were just as much the team of Vlad Ducasse (backup guard), Jerick McKinnon (rookie running back). Source: www.foxsports.com
