Selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft, Minshew became the team's primary starter during his first season and set the franchise record for rookie passing touchdowns. Following an injury-shortened 2020 campaign, he was traded the following year to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he served as the team's backup for two seasons. Minshew joined the Indianapolis Colts in 2023 and took over as the starter following a season-ending injury to Anthony Richardson.
