The fall of Teddy Bridgewater has been a highly discussed topic over the recent weeks, with the former top signal-caller in the 2014 NFL Draft class going from being compared to Aaron Rodgers to being compared to Willie Beamen.

No one can give a good reason for why Bridgewater has fallen so drastically, but the latest comment from a league personnel executive shows that some people in league circles just no longer believe that Bridgewater has what it takes to succeed at the next level.

According to Walter Football, one league executive told their own Charlie Campbell that Bridgewater is just a “fourth-round guy.”

The comment is completely ridiculous, but it is the latest to join the long list of Bridgewater criticisms.

Bridgewater is a great leader and has the ability to make any NFL throw, so it is a bit surprising to see so many people speaking out against him at this stage in the process. However, that is just something we will have to deal with now that the league has pushed the draft back a few weeks.
