At a time where it seems like the cool thing to do is to criticize Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and explain why he will fall on draft day, one team with a top ten pick is taking an extended look at the signal-caller a few weeks before the 2014 NFL Draft.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Bridgewater worked out for the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday and he has spend the last two days meeting withthe team.

The Vikings will be in the mix for quarterback, but they will need to see how the top of the draft plays out before making a decision.

If Bridgewater is available, the team will have had a good look at the Louisville product and they can make an educated choice on whether or not he will be able to help the franchise turn things around.
