Minnesota Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t see playing in cold weather being an issue

New Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater hails from the Miami, Florida area. In three years as the quarterback in college for the Louisville Cardinals, Bridgewater only played in 11 games when it was below 50 degrees. So needless to say, cold weather isn’t really something that’s normal to the youngster.

That’s why it’s no surprise that some people have legitimate concerns about Bridgewater in Minnesota, especially given the fact that they’ll be playing the next two seasons outdoors while their new stadium is being constructed, and everyone knows the state of Minnesota doesn’t exactly have the climate of the Bahamas.

But from Bridgewater’s end, he doesn’t foresee a problem at all with playing with the Vikings in the later months when the weather starts to take a frozen turn.

“I think it won’t be a big adjustment at all,” Bridgewater told the Minnesota Star-Tribune. “I think we’ll be able to use that to our advantage here in Minnesota. It’s a mental thing and I’ll just block it out and continue to play.”

Of course, the home games aren’t the only ones they would have to worry about, as they’ll also make trips to Green Bay and Chicago in division play.
