Jaguars QB Jake Luton ready, excited for ‘dream’ to become reality

In life, and in football, things don’t always go the way you planned. For Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton, after being selected in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, he’s relishing his opportunity, no matter the circumstances surrounding his temporary - for now -, promotion.

On Monday, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone informed the media, fans and NFL universe, that starting quarterback Gardner Minshew II would be deemed inactive on Sunday against the Houston Texans due to an injury. In his place will be Luton, a rookie out of Oregon State, a Pac-12 quarterback, starting for an injured Jaguars starting quarterback, who would have thought?
