MINNEAPOLIS -- He's eschewed public comments, rehabbed out of view (aside from a few Instagram videos) and is spoken of by teammates almost like a phantom: "I just saw him working out inside! He looked great!"
Yet Teddy Bridgewater is making his comeback from his catastrophic knee injury in full view of his Minnesota Vikings teammates, and those who've spent time around the quarterback this spring seem so swayed by his resolve that they believe he's going to make it back to a football field and become a starting quarterback again.
Tight end Kyle Rudolph has long been one of Bridgewater's staunchest supporters in Minnesota.
