His pro-day was really weird. The kid wore a glove his entire collegiate career, and then with all these coaches and cameras in his face, he doesn't. Am curious of the opinion of some who know Teddy better than I do, will the gloves come off in the pros? 

 

I ask because I saw this quote from Teddy after the pro-day, about the "heat in Florida"(an allusion to his glove hand getting sweaty perhaps?)

Quote:“Well, when I was training down in Florida you know its 80 degree weather, sunny every day,” Bridgewater said.  “So I was out there throwing without the glove and just letting it rip, so I felt confident coming into this process, coming today that I trained without the glove so I could throw on Pro Day without the glove. So that was the biggest thing that led to that decision.”
 

 

It doesn't really matter either way, if he can still throw the pigskin, but I'm just curious to hear from those who know Bridgewater better than i do. With Jacksonville being one of those teams that usually play in that '80 degree weather', was his pro-day a sign that Teddy is losing the gloves for good? And if so, why'd he wear them in college? And if no, why not wear them at the pro-day?

 

Just curious on your thoughts...
