The talk around Teddy Bridgewater has been borderline silly during the draft season. After coming into the last College Football season as the number 1 quarterback, he tumbled down draft board after skinny leg issues among other odd issues.
One of the most off the wall comparisons was to Willie Beamen, a movie QB played by Jamie Foxx in Any Given Sunday. Today Teddy was asked about the most hurtful criticism and had this to say:
"I would say the comparison to Willie Beaman." -Bridgewater on the harshest criticism he received. #Vikings

I could see how being compared to a fake QB who had a personality not like yours, would be a problem. Teddy now has his chance to prove all the skeptics wrong in Minnesota.
