With the QB1 job his when the Jacksonville Jaguars return for training camp on July 28, Gardner Minshew II hasn’t changed his mindset one bit. It seems as though the second-year quarterback has worked out tirelessly with the chance to be the Jags’ franchise signal-caller in his sight.
This week it appears he’s returned to Naples, Fla. to train with sports fitness coach Anthony Tumbarello, who has worked with him this summer and prior. In a video from Tumbarello’s Instagram, Minshew was seen doing some speed and agility work at Total Athletic Performance, and as expected, he looks to be in solid shape.
As many can recall, Minshew released a workout video earlier this offseason of him doing some on-the-field work with for Tumbarello. The most noteworthy thing that people took from it was how jacked Minshew looked, as the young signal-caller clearly wanted to add some muscle for his second season.
🎥 Jags QB @GardnerMinshew5 has been counted out over & over again.
BUT he has traits you can’t measure & 1 of them is a work ethic that is relentless.
He should be an inspiration to any young QB who feels overlooked.

Minshew finished his rookie season with 3,271 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and six interceptions. That was good enough to register him the top grade of any rookie quarterback per Pro Football Focus (70.3), which is certainly something fans should hope he’ll build on.
