US EditionFormer Lions QB Pursuing NFL Return After HS Coaching Suspension
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 14 – Bridgewater voluntarily funded players' expenses totaling over $30,000 last season, breaching Florida High School Athletic Association rules despite self-reporting the benefits.
- Teddy Bridgewater, former NFL quarterback and coach of the Miami Northwestern football team, was suspended for providing unauthorized benefits to his athletes.
