In an NFL that has long been too-serious with its suit-and-tie personality, we should all be grateful to have Gardner Minshew.
The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback won over NFL fans with his comebacks, his mustache, jorts and his Uncle-Rico good looks during the 2019 season. Minshew continued to lean into his silly image, with a photoshopped photo of himself as the “Tiger King.” What’s that? It’s a documentary series on Netflix about Joe Exotic, a zoo operator and breeder of tigers from Oklahoma.
In the image, Minshew swapped himself and a jaguar out with Joe Exotic and a tiger. Maybe it’s a comparison Minshew shouldn’t make, considering all that we learn about Exotic’s illegal activity. Still, the image is good for a laugh.
The #JaguarKing label is particularly fitting this offseason. While Minshew was in a quarterback battle with veteran Nick Foles, the team traded him to the Chicago Bears this offseason. It’s the Minshew show from now on.
