Teddy Bridgewater was known for being one of the most humble players in the NFL during his professional playing days, however, that kindness may be bringing him some trouble at his new gig as a high school football head coach.

On Monday, a story developed stating that Bridgewater - the head coach at Miami Northwestern High School - was suspended by the program after paying for a variety of expenses incurred to players and their families, including roughly $14,000 to cover their training camp.
So let me get this straight: Teddy Bridgewater — a volunteer not even a school employee — is being suspended for helping kids and doing good in his community?

While the high school may be following what they deem to be proper protocol for Bridgewater giving out "improper benefits," it's a wild decision considering the former NFL quarterback is simply aiming to help his team by unburdening them with extra financial decisions.
Among the other reported expenses incurred were nearly $2,200 a week to help feed his team during pregame meals, as well as about $700 weekly covering the costs of Uber rides.
