A 2014 NFL Draft first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, Bridgewater retired last year after one season with the Detroit Lions. His career also saw stops with the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins.
He quickly took over at Miami Northwestern and this season coached the squad to a 12-2 record. Bridgewater’s first campaign concluded with a 41-0 win over Raines on Saturday in the Division 3A Florida High School Athletic Association title game.
The 32-year-old could offer some veteran presence to a squad dealing with injuries or uncertainty in the QB room. In his NFL career (so far), he played in 79 games with 65 starts and a 33-32 record, throwing for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
“We’ll see how [the] next week and a half, two weeks play out, might be signing with a team or something,” Bridgewater said. “And then returning back to coach high school football in February. So, we’ll see.”
