Teddy Bridgewater says he'd like to return to NFL for rest of season

High school football season is over for Teddy Bridgewater. Things don't start up again until February.

In the interim, he's thinking about returning to the NFL.

Bridgewater made the disclosure during an appearance on NFL Network. It seems as if the hosts knew to ask the question about his future. When it was asked, he provided one hell of an answer.

"Might be signing with a team or something and then returning back to coach high school football," Bridgewater said.

When asked if he's coming back to the NFL, Bridgewater said, "That's the plan."

The 32-year-old Bridgewater, a first-round pick of the Vikings in 2014, has plenty of gas in the tank. It remains to be seen which contenders would want him at this point. Most of the playoff teams have their depth charts in place.

Still, Bridgewater can sign with any team at any time. All it takes is one injury to open the door to a return — and possibly to a shot at a Super Bowl ring.
