Recent Teddy Bridgewater Notes
Teddy Bridgewater
room to improve his touch and ball placement on downfield throws. strong performances in big games including against florida in the sugar bowl following the 2012 season, but played mediocre talent on a weekly basis in the american athletic conference.
Struggled with his accuracy during his pro day.
shows very good weight distribution and passing mechanics. steps into the face of pressure and delivers, showing admirable toughness on each snap to bounce back after big hits.
Smooth mobility to extend and move the pocket with the quickness to pick up yards with his legs if needed. Impressive accuracy and touch on throws to all levels of the field, and displays good accuracy while on the move.
weaknesses
Although quick, Bridgewater has a lower than ideal release point with the ball shooting passed his ear. Some durability concerns after all the hits he has taken over his career, specifically to his wrist and ankle, and lacks physical frame. He's mobile enough to extend plays, but isn't a true dual-threat quarterback.
quick and efficient movements in his technique and does an excellent job with fakes, selling and focusing on the details. he is poised and with very good footwork in the pocket. can keep defenses guessing with a sprinkling of read-option looks.
Mature and grounded individual who obviously loves football. Sharp-witted and retains information extremely well. Makes it look easy on the field and appears to "get it," elevating the play of those around him.
strengths
Comes from a pro-style offense at Louisville, and was among the nation's leaders in all passing categories when facing blitzes. Naturally steps through his progressions, and keeps his eyes focused downfield with defenders closing in on him. Can manipulate the defense with his eyes.
compares to
Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks - NFL analysts often say that if Russell Wilson was 3-4 inches taller, he would have been a first round pick. Well, that might hold true with Bridgewater, who is a similar prospect as Wilson (smart, athletic, mature, accurate) except he is taller with more prototypical height for the NFL.
