Gardner Flint Minshew II (born May 16, 1996) is an American football quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He began his college football career at Northwest Mississippi Community College, winning the NJCAA National Football Championship, and played his next two years at East Carolina. Minshew used his final year of eligibility at Washington State, where he set the Pac-12 Conference season records for passing yards and completions and won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. Selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft, Minshew became the team's primary starter during his first season and set the franchise record for rookie passing touchdowns. Following an injury-shortened 2020 campaign, he was traded the following year to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he served as the team's backup for two seasons. Minshew joined the Indianapolis Colts in 2023 and took over as the starter following a season-ending injury to Anthony Richardson. He had career-highs in pass completions and passing yards that season and was selected to his first career Pro Bowl as an alternate.
