Panthers fans are starting to get to know their new quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater. While he’s a much different personality than Cam Newton, Bridgewater brings his own unique energy to the team.
Over the weekend, Bridgewater shared a video of Dennis Rodman talking about his motivation and hustle. Watch.
In recent years, Rodman’s accomplishments have been overshadowed by his off-the-court antics. While his courting of North Korean leaders and celebrities like Madonna and Carmen Electra are undeniably interesting, Rodman’s game often gets overlooked for the hype.
People forget, but at one point Rodman was the best rebounder in the NBA despite being relatively undersized. He’s listed at 6-foot-7. However, he’s likely at least two inches shorter. Rodman became a great rebounder not through athletic gifts but rather through tremendous hard work and dedication. He was also an extremely underrated and cerebral defender.
While they may seem nothing alike personality-wise, that may be the biggest thing Bridgewater has in common with Rodman. He has an exceptional football IQ, which will serve him well in Carolina.
