Teddy Bridgewater announced after the end of the Detroit Lions season that he will be retiring from the NFL.
But it doesn’t mean he’s giving up on football.
As the Miami (Florida) Northwestern High football team’s head coach, Bridgewater is making a return to his alma institution, the school announced on Friday.
A first-round selection of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Louisville, Bridgewater played 79 games with 65 starts over nine seasons with six different clubs (he missed all of 2016 due to a knee injury). Throughout his career, he passed for 15,120 yards and 75 touchdowns.
However, he started it all as a Bull with Miami Northwestern, where he was a standout. Renamed in his honor, the school’s football field will now bear his name as he takes over a program that finished with a 4-6 record the previous year.
