Panthers QB Teddy Bridgewater shares a look at what motivates him

On Thursday night, Bridgewater shared a short video clip on Twitter that shows what he’s come back from.

Former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been taking most of the headlines this week after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Patriots. His successor may not have the same name recognition, but Teddy Bridgewater brings a compelling story of his own to Carolina.

On Thursday night, Bridgewater shared a short video clip on Twitter that shows what he’s come back from. We see Bridgewater walking gingerly in a hospital after suffering his devastating 2016 knee injury. He captioned it with a motivational message.

Bridgewater tore his ACL and dislocated his knee during training camp for the Vikings that year. He missed almost two entire seasons working his way back from the career-threatening injury, and when he did get back on the field he was relegated to serving as a backup QB.

After Drew Brees went down with a thumb injury early last season, Bridgewater finally got an opportunity to show what he can do. He went 5-0 as a starter for the Saints, which earned him a three-year deal and a chance to be the man for the Panthers.

Feel however you want about how Newton was treated by Carolina. If you can’t root for Bridgewater’s success, we can’t help you.

Teddy Bridgewater shares details of his ridiculous 5-hour bike ride workout

Professional athletes are cut just a little bit different than the rest of us.

Professional athletes are cut just a little bit different than the rest of us. Natural physical gifts certainly don’t hurt their chances, but you don’t get to play in the NFL unless your will to exercise is far more extreme than the average sports fan.

Observe the details of Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater’s Saturday bike-ride, which he just shared on Twitter. Bridgewater’s screengrabs show he biked five hours, totaling over 74 miles and burning 3,000+ calories.

Bananas.

Teddy Bridgewater shares advice for 2020 rookie class

While Bridgewater was a first-round pick, he’s had to prove himself in other ways.

255 players heard their names called in the draft this weekend. Many more were left unpicked and are now scrambling to find work in the NFL.

Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater shared a message of encouragement for the class of 2020 today, including those who didn’t get drafted and those who won’t sign with a team.

While Bridgewater was a first-round pick, he’s had to prove himself in other ways. The knee injury he sustained in 2016 was serious enough to potentially end his days of playing football. It took him four years, but Bridgewater has battled back and will be starting at quarterback again this season for the first time since the injury.

We haven’t heard anything official from the team as of yet, but we’re projecting P.J. Walker to be his primary backup. If the Panthers carry three quarterbacks, Will Grier’s spot is safe. If not, he could wind up somewhere else.
