24. Teddy Bridgewater, Minnesota Vikings

A young Vikings team took a big step forward in 2015 by reaching the postseason, with Bridgewater continuing to develop nicely in his sophomore season. While Bridgewater remains a little low in the quarterback rankings for now, he’s well on his way to being a top-half NFL starter.

Bridgewater fell all the way to No. 32 in the draft, with a few teams with shaky quarterback situations like Houston skipping over him. The Vikings are hoping Bridgewater proves everybody wrong, and he turned in a solid 2015 season by throwing 3,231 yards and 20 touchdowns to just nine interceptions.

All of Bridgewater’s numbers other than yards per game were up slightly across the board from his rookie season,when he was thrown into the starting role early on. With an elite running back and talented young defense, Bridgewater won’t be asked to do too much yet as the low yardage total would indicate, and he’s meeting expectations so far.

Bridgewater may not be the type of quarterback that can be a focal point of on offense, which holds him back in the rankings somewhat, but has shown good accuracy and continues to cut down on mistakes and is a good fit for Minnesota currently.. Expect even more development from Bridgewater in his third year with the Vikings
