Lamar Jackson isn't the next Teddy Bridgewater, he's different

It's not fair to compare Jackson to Bridgewater, but that's mostly because they aren't the same type of quarterback.

Watching Louisville's opener against Auburn on Saturday, I didn't see Teddy Bridgewater reincarnated in Lamar Jackson. And really, the comparison of the two doesn't seem to quite fit.

The first name that came to mind when I watched the Cardinals' newest signal-caller was a fellow Floridian that hails from just down the road from Jackson's native Boynton Beach.

So let's rewind to 2009, untie the murderbird shoelaces and slide down the Atlantic coast about 18 miles to Deerfield Beach.
