Gardner Minshew’s dad, Flint Minshew, clearly doesn’t take days off when it comes to lifting weights. This is now the second week in a row that Flint has been looking yoked in the stands watching his son get the starting job as Nick Foles replacement.
Here’s a little background on just how unique Flint and Gardner are…grandpa wanted a different name for his grandson:
Flint Minshew wanted to name his son Gardner II — without the existence of a Gardner I.
His father, Billy, wanted his grandson to be named Beowulf.
This is how Gardner Minshew started his life — and it’s how he’s starting his NFL career. Like the name he bears, Minshew’s path to the NFL kind of defies logic. Like the name he might’ve had, the former Washington State Cougar is a growing legend.
It appears Flint owns a fitness center in Richland, Mississippi called Minshews Fitness 1440:
