#3 ranked QB on Scout out of Miami who just came out with his top 5 of LSU, USC, Bama, UF, and Miami. Most thought he was a UGA lean but he said they stopped calling him for some reason. 6'3 180 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV9vv7QxREM[/media]
Jeff Driskel, Teddy Bridgewater shine in Orlando Elite 11 - ESPN "For the second weekend in a row, I got a chance to see Teddy Bridgewater (Miami, Fla./Northwestern) in action. Despite his success on game days, there is a perception that the athletic quarterback might be a better wide receiver prospect at the college level. I'm not one of those who thinks that. I believe Bridgewater can make the transition from high school quarterback to college QB. I will admit he may be an acquired taste at the position as he does not always show great technique or mechanics and possesses a lean build. He has shown, though, that he is a winner and a competitor, and at the Elite 11 he had his best outing in drill work. He can be an accurate passer and consistently displayed that throughout the event. He looked solid in his footwork and not shockingly did well throwing on the move. He has a long list of offers, including Alabama, Florida, Miami and West Virginia, and when approached afterward he did not shoot down the idea of playing wide receiver, but was very confident in his ability at quarterback. The debate about where Bridgewater will fit best in college will likely continue, but he helped his cause as a quarterback prospect with his performance." Maybe this will play out like a RS situation. Give the kid a legit shot at QB, then let him decide if he wants to move to a different position if QB doesn't work out.
I am not into those dual threat guys too much, I would rather a QB. Sure Ryan was dual threat but to me he was a QB that could power run. LSU needs a guy that can drop back and pass, any kind of running ability is just a nice bonus.
As in the guy that got moved to WR? I hope so. He said a few days ago that he no longer wants to play WR in college. He's not that fast anyways. I get the feeling he is Miami's to lose - and Miami definitely loses people . . .
A better QB, maybe. RS looks like the better athlete to me. What we need is to get him to LSU so we can compare them side-by-side.
Yeah better QB but still open on the athlete part b/c he didnt have to run as much as RS because he was on a better team
