Many fans expected the Jacksonville Jaguars to pick a quarterback at some point in the 2019 NFL Draft with the eye of being a backup to Nick Foles and potentially develop into a replacement, however not many expected the team to roll the dice on Washington State’s Gardner Minshew. There were some smart people that named him as a target pre-draft, though.
Minshew is an interesting quarterback prospect who doesn’t like the ideal physical measurables that the NFL typically earmarks. He is a quarterback who is fun who played in an Air Raid offense under Mike Leach and it appears Leach had some glowing reviews for Minshew when NFL scouts called him up for information.
