Theodore Edmond Bridgewater Jr. (born November 10, 1992) is an American professional football quarterback for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Louisville Cardinals, winning the 2013 Sugar Bowl, and was selected as the final first round pick of the 2014 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings. During his second season, Bridgewater led the Vikings to a division title and earned Pro Bowl honors.

Upon suffering a severe leg injury the 2016 offseason, Bridgewater appeared in only one game over the next two years. He joined the New York Jets in 2018, but was traded to the New Orleans Saints shortly afterwards. Bridgewater served as the team's starter in relief of Drew Brees in 2019 for five games and helped contribute to them winning their division. Bridgewater later held starting roles with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos for one season each and spent his last two seasons as a backup for the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions. After initially retiring from the NFL in 2023, Bridgewater became the head football coach at Miami Northwestern, his former high school. Bridgewater returned to the Lions in 2024 after leading Miami Northwestern to a state championship and signed with the Buccaneers in 2025.
