Vikings quarterback Mike Zimmer expressed optimism Monday for quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's future in the NFL following the rookie's three-interception performance during Sunday's 17-3 loss vs. Detroit. Bridgewater was making just his second career start.
"I believe, with all my heart, that Teddy Bridgewater is going to be the franchise quarterback here for a long, long time," Zimmer said, per ESPN. "I believe that the team believes that, too. Guys in the organization, the players, everybody believes this guy will be the future -- and a bright future for this organization. We have to make sure we continue to help him to be successful -- playing, coaching, whatever it is."
