The Detroit Lions are still benefiting from the 10-year NFL veteran, especially with Jameson Williams.

Teddy Bridgewater is still mentoring some of the team’s young players this offseason even though he is no longer a Detroit Lion by official definition.

Maurice Alexander, a wide receiver, shared a photo of Bridgewater and fellow wideout Jameson Williams working out in Miami Gardens, Florida, on X on Thursday night. For all of the 10-year veteran’s accomplishments, the football field Bridgewater played on as a child was named in his honor last year. It makes sense that he would choose a few Lions to carry on his mentoring role until retirement, as he hinted at a few months ago before the conclusion of Detroit’s season.

Working with younger players has been Bridgewater’s passion and joy since he moved to the Motor City in August of last year.

“Dude, that’s all I’ve ever done in my life—just giving back,” he remarked. Since I am aware that I won’t play this game indefinitely. I mean, there are things in life that I can’t do forever, so how can I make a lasting impression? How can I get the next generation of athletes and talent ready for what is ahead?

 

It’s like a gift from God to life. To be honest, merely investing in the team’s younger players and athleticism. I believe that’s how I was fortunate. That’s how I continue to be given opportunities, which are obviously not limited to my abilities as a football player. It just means a lot to me, especially in light of people with extraordinary talent like Jameson Williams.

In particular, Bridgewater had a lot to say about Williams.

 

“I want to push (Williams) to those limits he may have never been pushed (to),” Bridgewater continued. “He is an incredible talent.” “The coaches have to get other folks moving, so it’s a little harder while practice is in session. You can give him rapid feedback if he makes a mistake on a play, but you have to move on to the next one.

We all know he was a first-round pick for a reason, therefore I truly hope he has a long future in this league. All I want to do is push him to reach his full potential as a player and become a real pro. And I’m thrilled to be challenging him; in fact, I plan to do certain things that will undoubtedly turn him against me. However, it will be fantastic for this offense, this organization, and JG (Jared Goff). I’m enthusiastic about his prospects.

It’s good to see that Bridgewater still has a strong desire to collaborate with his old colleagues even after hanging up his own jersey. Hendon Hooker, the quarterback, told the media in January that he intended to continue studying by living with the veteran throughout the offseason. The veteran will now mentor even younger players, since he was just hired to be the head football coach at Miami Northwestern High School, his alma school.

 

And now for the remaining notes you have.

 

Joining “Green Light with Chris Long,” Alim McNeill discusses a wide range of topics, including his rap career, the influence the Lions’ success had on the community, and how “smooth as butter” Hendon Hooker’s arm is.

Though there is obviously a lot of disagreement on the Lions’ draft strategy, pundits almost always project that the team will select someone to help with the offensive line. I say almost always because Mike Payton of A to Z Sports believes they might decide against it and instead concentrate on what they already have.

There are many positive aspects of his makeup and game. He meets the Lions’ requirements. Colton Pouncy shared his thoughts on why he believes the Lions might strengthen their offensive line with the 29th choice during the second mock draft conducted by the Athletic staff. ($)
