Bucs' Teddy Bridgewater reflects on suspension from coaching Miami Northwestern: 'Those players became my sons'
Teddy Bridgewater retired from the NFL in 2023 after 10 seasons, in part to focus on his two sons. In his eyes, he inherited many more when he took over as the head coach of his alma mater, Miami Northwestern High School, in his native South Florida. "I'm protective, and I'm a father first before anything," a now-32-year-old Bridgewater told reporters Wednesday during his first media appearance as a Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. "When I decided to coach, those players became my sons. And I want to make sure that I just protect them in the best way that I can." Being what Bridgewater calls "a cheerful giver" unfortunately ran him into trouble with the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA). Bridgewater revealed on Facebook in July that he covered Uber rides, meals and recovery services for his players last season, a year that culminated in Miami Northwestern winning a Florida Class 3A state championship. In that post, Bridgewater asked fans to donate and help him take care of those expenses this time around. Word apparently got to the FHSAA, and then Miami Northwestern had to respond, ultimately suspending Bridgewater from coaching for allegedly providing impermissible benefits to his players. Bridgewater, who initially unretired from the NFL to rejoin the Detroit Lions late last season, is spending the 2025 season in the Bucs' quarterback room as a veteran voice and experienced backup. The former first-round pick reflected Wednesday on his suspension from Miami Northwestern, and on his motivation behind doing what he did to help his players last year. "Not enough blessings in tough neighborhood, and sometimes things can happen when kids are walking home and different things like that," Bridgewater said. "I just try to protect them, give them a ride home instead of them having to take those dangerous walks. But I just want people to continue to see me for the person that I've been, from the time I arrived in the NFL, from the time that I arrived at the University of Louisville. Just a humble guy with a good heart and a cheerful giver." According to the U.S. News & World Report, 75% of students at Miami Northwestern are considered "economically disadvantaged" and 72% qualify for the "Free Lunch Program" under the National School Lunch Act. Bridgewater was asked Wednesday about the possibility of changes to FHSAA rules. "I guess in due time those changes will happen," he said. "But until then, man, I can't change who I am because of the rules. I have a big heart. I get it from my mom. And I just always said that I was once those kids. I know what it's like to be in their shoes. I know what it's like to walk those halls at Miami Northwestern and to have your stomach growling and rumbling at 12 o'clock in the afternoon because you didn't have any lunch money or you don't get the free lunch. So I can't change who I am. I'll still give to those kids just because, man, I know what it's like. When I say 'give,' it's not even about money. It's about my time and my presence. Because a lot of times you see your idol on TV and it's like, 'Man, I wonder what it's like to be that person.' But when they see me in the flesh, and they see how I'm an open-spirited person and I'm happy I'm around them and they fit right in with me and I fit in with them — it's just hope." When Bridgewater mentioned "hope," he was referring to the source of inspiration he feels he provides to students at Miami Northwestern. He called his experience with those kids as "the way that I feed my soul." "I think now that I'm back in the league, there's actually going to be extra motivation for them as well because they'll play a game on Friday night and probably get to drive across the state and come watch the Bucs win and see coach on the sidelines," Bridgewater said. "So it's like, 'Man, Coach is just continuing to just serve as motivation and continuing to influence us in every way possible. He's showing us that he can make it to the NFL. He's showing us that he can coach, he's showing us that there are different avenues of life that you can take.' And I'm hoping that they take notice of that."

Darren Waller's return is "tricky" with joint practices upcoming
Dolphins tight end Darren Waller remains on the active/physically unable to perform list after coming out of retirement. He is about a week away from working his way back into practice, coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday, but it's going to be "tricky" with joint practices upcoming. The Dolphins go against the Bears and Lions back-to-back. 'It's a little tricky because you're bringing a guy back, and is his first practice a joint practice?' McDaniel said Wednesday, via the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "So, it's about a week, but it's a little tricky in terms of what practice. We'll feel our way through that, and you're just trying to be smart with that.' Waller, who has not played since the 2023 season, has worked on the side in camp. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said on WSVN this week that Waller will be ready for the start of the season. Waller is listed as the starting tight end on the Dolphins' initial depth chart.

Will Aaron Rodgers & DK Metcalf mesh in Pittsburgh?
Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice, NFL writer Charles McDonald and fantasy analyst Matt Harmon discuss how the Steelers' new quarterback-receiver pairing will fit together for the yellow and gold this season. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript The Pittsburgh Steelers went 10-7 last year, of course. They finished with a 10-7 record. You guys know who the head coach is? It's Mike Tomlin. This is what they do. They added a guy at quarterback named Aaron Rodgers, added DK Metcalf, traded for him, and got rid of George Pickens. But the Steelers' offense, Charles, I'm gonna let you have the first take. I'm gonna let you bat lead off here. What are you focusing on with the Pittsburgh Steelers offense? It all just depends on how Aaron Rodgers and Arthur Smith mesh, because Aaron Rodgers is 40. He doesn't really move. Last year they had Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. I just don't understand how the marriage is supposed to work from a quarterback to play caller standpoint. I think the talent is just good enough. Maybe they could have a watchable season on offense, but if DK Metcalf gets hurt, even a little, it's 2025. I'm about to say if Robert Woods gets hurt, you're in a bad spot. DK Metcalf is coming off his worst season. Like he has a 10th percentile success rate versus zone coverage last year. He was not great at separating against man coverage, which is not as good as usual, and his contested catch rate was a career low. So, again, I don't even love the idea of trading a guy coming off his worst season and paying him $33 million a year, and now Terry McLaurin is pissed about that because he's been a better player throughout the course of his career, the whole thing. But I was like, all right, if this is gonna work for the Steelers, it's because one thing DK can do is run those deep and breaking routes. That Arthur Smith loves to do with his ex-receiver, but we have a guy that charts quarterbacks, Corey Kennon, reception perception. He noted that Rodgers' worst throws last year from an accuracy standpoint were digs and posts. And I read that in his write-up. I went and charted Garrett Wilson and the like, they didn't have him run a lot of digs because of course the Rodgers offense does not run a lot of digs. It's go routes, slant routes, and those little access throws and stuff. Consistently, the ball is behind Garrett Wilson when he's running open in the middle of the field. This is chunk 2 of 2. Please provide the next chunk to continue. field, so I don't even know if the thing that DK Metcalf would fit best into this offense doing from a past game standpoint, is really what Rogers does well at this stage. So, I just, I don't know, there's a, there's a lot of question marks for a team, um, where again, it's just it's always question marks on this side of the ball. I don't really see a lot of solutions here. Close
