Bridgewater is participating in the LSU pro day for the sport he probably should have played at LSU, but they measured him up officially this morning at just 6'2 5/8", at 273 pounds. No wonder that dude struggled so much inside in basketball. I thought he was at least 6'3.5-6'4 or so, nope, 6'2.5" basically.

He has freakishly long arms at 7 feet wingspan, very long arms, similar to what you find on NFL OTs. Maybe OT would be better suited than TE honestly. Especially if he runs a really slow 40.

Wasn't he listed at 6'5" or 6'6"?

Maybe I would've had a chance at LSU. They would've listed me at 6'0 instead of 5'8.

Both brothers definitely went in the wrong sport. I guess he can join the Primerica pyramid once he's cut from the first mini-camp.

These are the jobbers Ben Simmons was stuck playing with for a year, and y'all wonder why he was so upset

Johnny should have been fired for trying to play a 6'2" guy at PF

He dominated hs ball because of his size and arm length. No reason in hell that dude should have been playing bball at a P5 school.
