There were guys before him that came back and you know, he's done more than even just falling into line with that." Luther Campbell on Teddy Bridgewater: 'That kid don't get shook.' What I would say is that Teddy paid attention. "And so I'm not surprised now to see that he's giving back. He was a kid who stayed at home and was disciplined and grounded." Teddy, back in the day, I guess you would say he was a homeboy. "Teddy was very well grounded," Rolle said. So it takes a special person to be from Miami and to be able to overlook a lot of that stuff and stay focused." "Back then, Miami was the so-called 'Party City.' You had a lot of things going on. "The city had swag," former Miami Northwestern head coach Billy Rolle said. Murphy was hardworking and humble, and there was nothing more important to her than making sure Teddy and his siblings stayed on the right track. She once drove a bus and later worked as a field dispatcher. He's just one of the guys when he comes back." Teddy Bridgewater's mom, Rose Murphy, kept him groundedīridgewater was raised by a single parent, Rose Murphy, who only recently retired after a long career with Miami-Dade County Schools. You can be able to touch him, throw a pass, play catch, actually talk with him. But he's also gonna be out in the community.
A lot of times you hear about an athlete coming back and throwing money at a situation. "What better guy to look up to as a man? And then you've got a guy that actually comes back. "Those kids have dreams and aspirations of going to the National Football League," Perkins said. "Teddy is a guy that's been through what they've been through," Perkins said of such areas as Liberty City and Miami Gardens, where poverty and violence are too common, and where football is also woven into the fabric of families and community at an early age. And there's nothing he enjoys more than seeing others smile. Who could forget the viral 2019 video of Bridgewater leaning back, marching at the end of a row of Miami Northwestern dance team members? But Bridgewater also has made it a point to show his face at his old school, and around town, on a regular basis. Now that he's made it, Bridgewater has donated money to youth leagues and donated uniforms and equipment to his high school, and donated money and gifts during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons.Īll that is greatly appreciated. He knew what the defense was trying to do. Always wanting to know the ins and outs of scheme. Bridgewater once led Northwestern to a state championship game and two regional playoff appearances. Even though Bridgewater played college football at Louisville and had stops in the NFL at Minnesota, New Orleans and Denver, he's been intentional about maintaining a connection to Miami.
