    The Green Bay Packers have relied on competent quarterback play over the last three decades to maintain their success.  It is something that other franchises in the NFL have either copied or tried to copy.

    We haven’t seen consistent quarterback play throughout the rest of the NFC North like Green Bay has over that time span.  However, today it was announced that one rival is doing what they can to beef up their quarterback room.

    Following a state championship with his high school alma mater, Teddy Bridgewater announced he was coming out of retirement on Thursday:

    Lions coach Dan Campbell said Bridgewater’s return does not mean the team is disappointed with current backup quarterback Hendon Hooker.

    Bridgewater had said last week that he wanted to return to the NFL after coaching Miami Northwestern Senior High School, his alma mater, to the Class 3A Florida High School Athletic Association state title earlier this month.

    “My team knows that’s the plan. We wanted to win a state championship and then Coach goes back to the league, see what happens, and then come back February in the offseason, continue coaching high school football. We’ll see how it plays out,” he told NFL Network’s “The Insiders” last week.

    A source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Thursday that Bridgewater has received NFL coaching inquiries in recent weeks but that he wants to try to win a championship as a player before entertaining those opportunities.

    Bridgewater, 32, spent last season as the Lions’ backup quarterback behind starter Jared Goff.

    Here is a look at Bridgewater’s career stats:
