In Gardner Minshew, Chiefs have a reliable backup behind Mahomes
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Dating back to the 2019 season, Gardner Minshew has made a name for himself in the NFL with his strong play, along with his iconic mustache and mullet.
The 178th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft has been a steady presence on many teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, Las Vegas Raiders and now the Kansas City Chiefs. Entering his 6th season, Minshew has completed 1,094 passes for 11,950 yards, 68 passing and 5 rushing touchdowns.
When the Chiefs signed him back in March, they were looking for a reliable backup if Patrick Mahomes had to miss time. In the Chiefs' preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, he looked the part, completing 6 of 9 passes for 54 yards, running for 4 yards and 1 rushing touchdown.
