Teddy Bridgewater is largely rated as the top quarterback prospect in the 2014 NFL Draft, but he is unsure if he will declare.

"I've been hearing all these stories that I've made a decision -- I haven't made a decision," Bridgewater said Monday. "I will talk to my mom and the coaches before making my decision. I'm not leaning either way."

Bridgewater said he's not leaning one way or the other ahead of Louisville's bowl game.

Bridgewater, who turned 21 last month, will be the first member of his family to graduate from college.

"I can finally say I reached my ultimate goal and it would change my mom's life (financially)," he said. "I can make an impact on my environment, where I grew up in Miami, showing there's no restrictions what you can reach. That someone from the same neighborhood can make it out."
