Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew was selected to the 2024 Pro Bowl Games, marking the first time in his career he achieved the feat.
Considering the fact that Minshew wasn’t even on the initial list of alternates, this certainly comes as a surprise. Minshew took over the starting role after rookie Anthony Richardson suffered a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery in Week 5.
Over the course of the season, Minshew started 13 games, completing 62.2% of his passes for 3,305 yards, 15 touchdowns, nine interceptions and an 84.6 passer rating.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news that Minshew was named a Pro Bowler:

As an honest Colts fan, I think we should trade Anthony Richardson. We already have a probowl qb in Gardner Minshew. There's no point in developing one when we already have a franchise qb https://t.co/sUETkShM09
