There was a point that
Teddy Bridgewater was the future of the Minnesota Vikings franchise and based
on his first two season he was progressing. Taking in consideration his youth, athletic
ability and game managing skills and Viking fans had a lot to cheer about but
all that changed when he destroyed his knee during practice this past August.
The Vikings made a trade for Sam Bradford, and behind a solid line Bradford is
flourishing and the Vikes are an unexpected 5-1 and leading the NFC North.
It has now been a little
over two months since Bridgewater’s injury and rumor out of NFL insiders is
that he is lucky to be walking and will most likely never play another game
again. It is sad to see a young talent like Bridgewater done after two seasons because
of a complete freak practice injury. It is a sign that no matter how young or talented
someone can be their career can be over in a moment. His cards are still
selling pretty well showing that there are collectors who still have faith that
he will return to the field.
I do not own the 2014 Topps Supreme Bridgewater card above, I pulled the image from eBay.
Sadly I pulled a couple Teddy rookie autos and a 24 Kt gold card from black gold knowing his potential I was excited. Now I see beckett dropping his values. Tough to see that. Tougher to hear the news of his career
ReplyDeleteI really hoped the Browns would draft Bridgewater (or Carr) instead of Manziel. I really liked his game, and would be very sad to see his career end with an injury like that.
