Former LSU basketball player Brian Bridgewater surprises NFL scouts

SmashMouth · 04-08-2018, 07:57 AM

Brian Bridgewater last played organized football in 2013, his senior year of high school at Scotlandville.

"Still got my hands though," Bridgewater said with a laugh Wednesday (April 4) at LSU Pro Day.

That's why he found the feedback he received from NFL scouts funny.

"A lot of them were surprised that I caught the ball really well," Bridgewater said. "I thought that was funny, because that's like my biggest asset, catching. It's like rebounding -- you just go up and get it."

Bridgewater, a forward who averaged 1.8 points per game over three seasons with the LSU basketball team from 2014 to 2017, worked out with the LSU football prospects at the pro day with hopes he can get a chance to join a professional team.

His hope is to mimic the transition Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates successfully made from playing basketball in college to playing football in the pros.
