QB Gardner Minshew and his 'stache already a Jags fan favorite days after draft

There's lots of talk about the Jacksonville Jaguars 2019 draft class, but one prospect taken on Day 3 lit up social media. The Jags selected Washington State’s Gardner Minshew with the 178th pick. Many fans and professional called him a steal, but what stole the show was his famous mustache.

Minshew led Wazzu to a record, 11-win season and an Alamo Bowl victory.
