Jared Goff showed last year that he can certainly handle the role and duties of being the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Despite that, this remains the NFL and anything can happen. Brad Holmes and his front office took a step towards always being prepared by signing Teddy Bridgewater to back up the former No. 1 overall pick on Monday.
The former Louisville Cardinal is familiar with playing against the Lions, but now he will have to adjust to playing for them. Bridgewater was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 and had looked to be a long-term solution for the team before injury struck. Since coming back from a near career-ending injury, Bridgewater has served and found mild success as a backup around the league.
