MIAMI — Teddy Bridgewater's post-NFL journey will start in the place his football stardom began.
Bridgewater, who recently retired from the NFL after a decade-long career, has been named the head coach at Miami Northwestern Senior High School, his alma mater, inheriting a team that went 4-6 last season, but one that he's familiar with.
Born and raised in Miami, Bridgewater started at quarterback for Miami Northwestern from 2008-2010, recording more than 5,000 yards passing and leading the Bulls to the state finals.
He developed into one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation before going on to have a successful college career at Louisville. Minnesota selected Bridgewater with the No. 32 pick in the 2014 NFL draft, and he spent three years there before a gruesome knee injury nearly ended his career.
Bridgewater said then that the injury gave him a deeper gratitude for life — to never take anything for granted — and he worked his way back and had stints with New Orleans, Carolina and Denver.
