Leonard Fournette reveals his inappropriate new nickname for Gardner Minshew
Gardner Minshew mania has taken over not just Jacksonville, but the entire NFL.
The young quarterback took over for the injured Nick Foles during Week 1 and has continued to impress, leading the Jaguars to a 2-2 record — which is the same as each of their AFC South rivals.
Minshew's charm isn't lost on his teammates, either. After Jacksonville's 26-24 comeback win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, star running back Leonard Fournette revealed his slightly NSFW nickname for his quarterback.
"His name is 'The Jockstrap King,'" Fournette said to a round of laughter. "That's his name."

The moniker is a reference to one of Fournette's interviews earlier in the season when he revealed that Minshew stretches only in his jockstrap before games.

Minshew and his undergarments likely won't want to change anything soon, given that the Jaguars are now on a two-game winning streak — and the rookie's legend is only continuing to grow.
