The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t have plans to start quarterback Gardner Minshew II, but when Nick Foles went down Week 1, the rookie got the opportunity of a lifetime and did some impressive things in the process. He ultimately finished the season 285-of-470 (60.6%) for 3,271 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and six picks, which were stats good enough to compete with 2019 first overall pick Kyler Murray.
Once Foles returned Week 11, it wasn’t long before the job was given back to Minshew (Week 14 vs. the Chargers), and after finishing on a strong note against Indy in the season finale, the argument could be made he will be QB1 in 2020. Of course, the season wasn’t a perfect one for the rookie but plenty of promise was shown, and if he can continue his growth, the Jags may be in good hands.
Here’s a full roundup of Minshew’s top highlights for 2019 as he went 6-6 on the season:
