they had him in the slot a ton in this game...McMillan's also a great middle of the field receiver because of his body, his size, the frame

Bridgewater's slot usage exploits his middle-field size and catch radius.

Teddy Bridgewater (referred to as 'Ted' in the transcript) is being used extensively in the slot against the Lions, leveraging his size and frame to work the middle of the field where he boxes out DBs and gets leverage; he catches everything and has decent pull-away speed, making him an important part of the route tree despite not being a burner.
