A handful of quarterback prospects are drawing attention this week at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Vikings, however, are one team in Indianapolis not looking to use their first pick at that position.
“I’m probably not going to take a quarterback in the first round, I can tell you that,” said Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman in a media session with beat reporters Wednesday morning. “Teddy’s our guy.”
Since making his first career start as a rookie in September 2014, Bridgewater has continued to develop and improve.
In 2015, Bridgewater led the Vikings to an 11-5 regular season record and their first playoff appearance since 2012.
