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.

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

And 9'1" broad jump, which considering his weight, is quite good

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.

5.09 40 for a TE (who hasn’t played since high school) ain’t getting him even a camp invite.

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

Why at that height would you purse basketball instead of football in college? Not very smart!

Probably because he tried football in high school and
1. Didn't like it.
2. Wasn't very good at it.

Because he had the heart of a basketball player, not football.

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