Teddy Bridgewater has been part of the football world for almost a decade now. In today’s day and age where QBs tend to stick out longer than their bodies allow them to, 31-year-old Bridgewater has decided to hang up his boots. “Whatever was meant for me, it played out the exact way it was meant”, said Bridgewater on his career as he announced his retirement. Here are the top 5 moments from the QBs’ time in the NFL.

During 10 seasons of playing in the NFL, Bridgewater was a part of 7 different teams while playing for 6. At that time, injuries were always a source of concern for him. But when he was fit and given the starting role, he made sure to put on a show for the fans.
