Gardner Minshew wanted to be the Chiefs' backup -- here's why

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- From the day he took a visit with coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs as he was preparing for the 2019 draft, Gardner Minshew said he wanted to someday play in Kansas City.

When he finally had a chance this year to join Reid and the Chiefs as the backup to quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Minshew didn't waste much time accepting their offer, one he said he was hoping for before he was even released by the Las Vegas Raiders at the start of the free agent signing period.
