Teddy Bridgewater, once a promising NFL quarterback, faced a life-altering knee injury just before the 2016 season. Following the dislocation during practice, doctors warned that amputation was an option. After 15 months of recovery, he returned to the field, showcasing his determination. By December 2023, Bridgewater announced his retirement but soon signed with the Detroit Lions. Reflecting on his journey, he expresses gratitude for the lessons learned from his injury, emphasizing how it shaped his character and perspective on life and football.
The injury was severe enough that amputation was a possibility. Fifteen months later, however, he took the last five snaps of a blowout victory.
I'm thankful it happened, he says, with doe eyes and a little boy smile. It made me take a step back and allowed God to build me the way he wanted to.
