Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew said last week that he has had enough fun this offseason and is heading to Naples, Fla., to begin training for his second NFL season.
This story by Michael DiRocco originally appeared on ESPN.com.
But he managed to cram a lot into the five weeks since the 2019 season ended.
He departed TIAA Bank Field the day after the season ended on what turned out to be a 17-day road trip across the country in an RV supplied by a corporate sponsor.
Minshew went duck hunting in Hallsville, Texas, hiked in the Grand Canyon and flew an F-16 Falcon with the Thunderbirds at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Per his Instagram, Minshew survived 9.1 Gs in a jet.
Some other stops on his journey included Austin, Texas; Flagstaff, Ariz.; Newport Beach, Calif.; Ship Rock, N.M.; and his hometown of Brandon, Miss.
Minshew capped his offseason with several days in Miami before Super Bowl LIV. He did the interview circuit, making appearances on multiple television and radio programs.
Minshew also was named the “Snickers Hungriest Player of the Year.”
