New Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater knows he is stepping into a big role as he takes over as the team's new starter after the release of Cam Newton.
That said, Bridgewater says his focus remains on himself and what he can do.
"I'm aware of the situation," Bridgewater told reporters during a conference call. "It's a unique situation. For me, all I have to do is be myself.
"I knew when Drew got injured, I had big shoes to fill then. I just constantly reminded myself to be me.
