After returning to the NFL and signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater opened up about the harrowing end to his high school coaching tenure at his alma mater Miami Northwestern.

After a tumultuous suspension from his high school alma mater Miami Northwestern, Teddy Bridgewater makes his NFL return by signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Teddy Bridgewater is nearing a return to the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Bridgewater is visiting the team and the Bucs plan to sign him. The Buccaneers will be the eighth team in 12 seasons for the 32-year-old Bridgewater.

Bridgewater's previous NFL career took a turn after a major knee injury in 2016, but he battled back to start for the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos. He later had stints with the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Detroit. "He's a pro pro and (coach) Todd (Bowles) has a good relationship with him," Licht said.
