Watch: Garrett Bradbury thrown like he's a rag doll by Teari Tart
Twenty-four hours ago, Teari Tart was a name most football fans probably didn't know. That started to change when Tart made headlines after being ejected from Thursday's joint practice between the Vikings and Titans, and a new video of him dominating Vikings center Garrett Bradbury is giving him more attention.
Minnesota and Tennessee practiced against each other on Wednesday and Thursday and the beef between Tart and Bradbury appears to have been gaining momentum ever since Tart knocked Justin Jefferson to the ground with a push from behind on Wednesday.
Bradbury stepped in to protect Jefferson when it happened, and the tension boiled over Thursday when Tart allegedly threw a punch at Bradbury. That got Tart ejected from practice, but not before cameras caught Tart obliterating Bradbury in a drill earlier in the session.
There are two known angles of the play that have made it onto Twitter and both make Bradbury look like a rag doll that Tart was tired of playing with. The first video:
Rip to Hump by Teair Tart. @speedboy_te75 sells the rip to his gap, then throws the blocker by with the hump move. Finishes with the swim. All about strength, leverage & timing!

One man throwing another man like that is an impression display of power. Of course, it's just one rep during a practice so it shouldn't cause any more concern than would've otherwise existed with the Bradbury, who was ranked by Pro Football Focus 22nd in pass blocking among centers in the NFL in 2022.
The 18 hurries allowed by Bradbury was fifth most among centers last season, according to Pro Football Focus. That's not great, but he was only charged with two sacks in 530 pass-blocking plays.
