If you kept track of the comments in yesterday’s Greg Cosell article, you may have seen an interesting series of tweets from Jerome Solomon. If not…well…here they are anyway.
Talked to Teddy Bridgewater, his first interview since the combine. Hard not to be impressed. He says all of his meetings were mostly FBL.

Bridgewater asked teams how his style fit their offense and what he needed to improve in his game. "It’s all about getting better."

Bridgewater on Bill O'Brien: "Coach O’Brien, he was all into ball, all football. He asked questions ... coverages, reads, protections."

Teddy Bridgewater on the #Texans: "I was very impressed with the way that they were so professional the entire meeting."

Bridgewater is back in Florida training in prep for Louisville's Pro Day on March 17. He expects to run 4.6-4.7 in the 40.

As for the silly questions other players mentioned getting at the combine, Bridgewater says "There weren’t any curveballs, just football."

I’ve long thought that Bridgewater and O’Brien would be two peas in a pod with how much both of them eat, sleep, and breathe football. These tweets seem to support that. It’s hard to say if Bill and Ted talkin’ ball will lead to the former Cardinal being taken first overall, but it sure can’t hurt.
