During his tenure with the Saints, Bridgewater found a lot of success from a winning standpoint.

He had a record of 5-1 as starting quarterback for the black and gold. He was Drew Brees' backup during his time with the franchise, but got those starts due to injuries to Brees.

Many fans remember him for his attitude and leadership, though. He was the type of person who "did not have a bad day" because he always remained positive and looked ahead for what was still to come. Fans and teammates flocked to his support consistently during his time in the NFL.

It is great to see Bridgewater thriving in his next venture after he retired earlier this year.
