The NFL Draft is just around the corner and already some of the top prospects in the class are starting to have teams single them out for further interviews. After his Pro Day at Louisville, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater found himself meeting with as many as three teams, according to Brian Smith from the Houston Chronicle.

Smith reports that the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars and Oakland Raiders were teams that met directly with Bridgewater at his Pro Day this week.

All three teams have been linked to Bridgewater and that’s bad news for the Minnesota Vikings, who met with Bridgewater this weekend but pick after the Texans, Jaguars and Raiders.

It’s unclear how interested each team is, but it’s been said that the Jaguars covet Bridegwater over all other quarterbacks in the draft and may hold him second to only Jadeveon Clowney.

The same could be similarly said about Houston and Oakland, although meeting with a top quarterback prospect when you’re in need of a franchise quarterback may end up being nothing more than due diligence.
