Teddy Bridgewater returns to the Lions

Teddy Bridgewater is back.

Not long after saying he planned to return to the NFL following his successful pursuit of a state championship in his first year as a high school football coach, Bridgewater is returns to the lionsaccording to the NFL Network.

Bridgewater was a first-round pick among the Vikings in 2014 and spent last season in Detroit. He will now rejoin the Lions as they battle the Vikings for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Bridgewater, 32, will likely join the practice squad, with Jake Fromm likely getting the short straw.

The Lions have Jared Goff as the starter, with Hendon Hooker serving at No. 2. Goff is clearly the guy.

Regardless, Bridgewater now gets a chance to win his first Super Bowl ring. And it could happen in the same season he won his first state championship as a coach.
