After retiring from the NFL following the 2023 season, former NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater led his high school alma mater to a Florida state title on Saturday night.
Bridgewater took over the Miami Northwestern Senior High School football program in February after the team went 4–6 last season. He totally revamped the team as they went 12–2 this season and ended the season on a 10-game winning streak.
Miami Northwestern won 41–0 in the Florida 3A state title game over William Raines Senior High. Bridgewater accomplished what seemed impossible last year in just 10 months.

He tore his ACL in '16 causing him to miss the entire season. He ended his NFL career with the Detroit Lions in 2023.
