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.
Bridgewater, a Louisville product selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings, played 79 games with 65 starts over the course of a nine-season career (he missed all of 2016 due to a knee injury) with six different clubs. 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. He will now take over a football programme that finished 4-6 the previous season, and the school’s football pitch was just renamed in his honour.
The 31-year-old has retired from competitive play but is staying on the pitch, and he will be hoping to bring the Bulls back to the heights of their glory from his playing days.
