JT Daniels and Gardner Minshew took vastly different paths to where they are now. Daniels was a consensus All-American who graduated a year early to play at USC. He’s only 18, and has all the talent in the world, though little experience. Minshew, on the other hand, started his college career at Troy, and then transferred to Northwest Mississippi Community College where he played in junior college, albeit in the relatively intense MACJC. Ultimately, Minshew lead the Northwest Mississippi Rangers to a National Championship on the JuCo level.
Following his stint in Northwest Mississippi, Minshew took his talents to East Carolina, where he played with highly drafted receiver Zay Jones.
