Teddy Bridgewater's brief NFL play has already drawn a comparison to Russell Wilson by Jim Caldwell.

"This guy is a good player," Caldwell said of Bridgewater, per the Detroit News. "I looked at him coming out closely, and this guy can think on his feet. He can deliver the ball, he's very good in terms of analyzing defenses (and) he does it quickly.

"The other thing is that he gets outside of the pocket. He's like Russell Wilson."

Like Wilson, Bridgewater scrambles to make plays with his arm and doesn't just take off willy-nilly. Bridgewater has shown some of that similar ability to buy time and make plays through the air.
