(5-19-24) After a successful career as a NFL QB…Teddy Bridgewater retired after this past season and now is the head football coach at his high school alma mater Miami (Fla) Northwestern.

Florida high school football allows for spring practices, for Bridgewater during the ‘Blue and Gold‘ scrimmage he was able to get valuable time looking over his talent for the upcoming season,

Including the opportunity to show his team how it should all work…by playing QB during the scrimmage.

Coach Bridgewater after the scrimmage said—

“So I went in at quarterback and I just dinked and dunked. It’s high school football. You don’t have to create all these magical plays. You just get the ball to your guys. Calvin Russell makes a catch. Boobie (Darius Johnson) catches the ball on a shallow cross and runs 40 yards. I try to remind my guys that it doesn’t take much.”

“I’m learning a lot from them.I wrote a reminder on my call sheet: Have Fun. Just as these kids do. I just came from a profession where you take it so serious, you lose sight of how fun this game truly is. Money, the business, different things like that … but that’s why I chose this level.

According to MaxPreps the Bulls last year went 4-6 overall and 2-2 in District play.
