News that former UCLA standout Josh Rosen would replace Ryan Fitzpatrick as Dolphins starting quarterback was met with collective shrug in Miami and beyond.“I’m sitting there shaking but I know it’s not broke, so I’m like, come on,” the man with the most famous mustache in football said. “Take another pull, 1, 2, 3 again. Still nothing. I’m just shaking at this point, man, but I knew it wasn’t broken. So one more time, another pull, another three hits and that was all I could take.
Minshew said he had a “swollen-ass hand for a few weeks” and that he told his coaches he had slammed it in a car door. But he still ended up playing seven games for the Pirates that season, including two starts.Minshew became the team’s full-time starter the following year, then transferred to Washington State, where he was named the Pac-12 offensive player of the year after throwing for 4,776 yards with 38 touchdowns and nine interceptions last season.
He was drafted by the Jaguars in the sixth round this spring and put to work early after starting quarterback Nick Foles broke his collarbone in the season opener. Minshew has turned a lot of heads since then, completing 73.9% of his passes with five touchdowns and one interception. So many questions could be asked about Minshew’s crazy story from his college days, but here’s just one: How was his hand not broken after being hit with a hammer nine times?
“I had to go left-handed with the hammer trying to hit the right hand,” Minshew said. “It’s a lot harder than you would think.”
Is that the dude from StrangerThings ?
OK, I know this is really messed up--and frankly this is the first time I've ever heard of the guy, so I know nothing else about him, except he's kinda hot in the photo--but he sounds like my kinda guy.
