Wherever he goes, Gardner Minshew seems to have a ton of fans supporting him. In just his seventh NFL season, Minshew will be joining the fifth team of his NFL career.

Minshew started most of his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, going 6-6, throwing for over 3,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was the starting QB the next season, going 1-7 before being injured.

The following season, Minshew was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and spent the next two seasons in Philly as Jalen Hurts' backup quarterback.

In 2023, Minshew signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts and started the most games. He posted a 7-6 winning record and threw for a career-high 3,305 yards.

After just one season with the Raiders, Minshew joined the Las Vegas Raiders last season, starting nine games and going 2-7 as a starter. It was a down year for Minshew, who had 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Minshew isn't viewed as a starting quarterback, but he is a reliable backup. Now that he's in Kansas City, Minshew seems to be embracing the backup role.
