The real Gardner Minshew? An 'accountant' and 'ultimate competitor' for Jaguars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A year ago this week, Minshew Mania took flight.

Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew threw a pair of first-quarter touchdown passes to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 20-7 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. He did a postgame interview on the NFL Network and joined Scott Van Pelt live on SportsCenter.

Minshew was a revelation for the NFL world. But at Washington State, he already had plenty of fans who had gone wild over his mustache, jorts and his locker room workouts with resistance bands wearing only his aviators and a jockstrap -- and sometimes just the aviators.
