Young fan has invite for Bridgewater

May 25, 2016 at 11:40PM

Here's a cute story found Wednesday via Foxsports.com: Obadiah Gamble, a 6-year-old Vikings fan and huge Teddy Bridgewater fan, released via YouTube recently a rap song inviting Bridgewater to his upcoming 7th birthday party.

The young fan tweeted snippets of the song at Bridgewater over the course of time, and the Vikings QB retweeted him.

His mom told Fox Sports that the Vikings "are sending some signed Bridgewater items to Obadiah, but she didn't know if the quarterback would attend Sunday's birthday party."

Bridgewater is in Minnesota this week, at least, since the team is in the midst of Organized Team Activities at Winter Park.

Regardless: fun story and great effort from the youngster, complete with the lyrics, "Hey Tedd-ay! Hey Tedd-ay! Won't you wanna come to my birthday!" and a breakdown involving "Skol Vikings."
