“Last year, Gardner Minshew II was the unexpected hero of the NFL,” said Joe Barnes, director of Bud Light sports marketing. “Now Bud Light is giving Minshew the spotlight he deserves, encouraging fans to support the Mississippi Mustache in real-life and in fantasy.”

Minshew became a fan favorite last season as a rookie. A sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Minshew took over the Jaguars’ starting job after an injury to quarterback Nick Foles and experienced immediate success, tossing for 3,271 passing yards and 21 touc

hdowns against just six interceptions.

The second-year quarterback has an average draft selection of 168 in ESPN fantasy football leagues. In other words, most managers see him as a late-round draft pick.

Minshew, known for his confidence on and off the field, assured fans that he was worth the risk.

“After the work I’ve put in to get ready for this year, I’m ready to be a fantasy football first rounder,” said Gardner Minshew II, Quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. “And now that Bud Light is kicking in the chance to win beer if you pick me, it’s a no brainer.”
