Daniel Jones mostly sat, Dwayne Haskins didn’t get off the bench and Kyler Murray stepped up after a disappointing first half. It’s the rookie no one was talking about who had the most intriguing Week 1, though.

Gardner Minshew — and his sweet moustache — was called on after Jaguars starting quarterback Nick Foles broke his collarbone in the first quarter of Jacksonville’s 40-26 loss the Chiefs. Minshew completed 22-of-25 passes, after hitting on his first 13 attempts, for 275 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

“Fearless … fearless,” wide receiver DJ Chark told the Florida Times Union. “He went in and did his thing. We were upset Nick was out but there was never a point when we said, ‘dang … now we have to go with Gardner.’ We knew we had to elevate our play and make him feel comfortable and he made us feel comfortable.”

He will have to keep doing his thing for the foreseeable future with Foles out indefinitely. Coming out of nowhere is not unusual for Minshew, though. The 23-year-old went from Northwest Mississippi Community College, where he led the Rangers to a national title in 2015, to East Carolina and then to Washington State.

Minshew nearly transferred to Alabama to take a step towards a future in coaching before Mike Leach convinced him to come to Pullman. In his one season at Washington State, Minshew threw for 38 touchdowns and 4,779 yards in leading the Cougars to an 11-2 record. Minshew was the Pac 12 Offensive Player of the Year and finished fifth in the Heisman voting.

Now, he is a starting NFL quarterback.

“I’m not happy with the circumstances,” Minshew told the paper. “It breaks my heart to see what happened to Nick because he’s been one of the best people I’ve ever played with and had the pleasure to be around. But I know he’s going to be there with me and we’re going to have this team where we need to go.”
