Gardner Minshew has always been more than just an NFL quarterback—he’s a full-on vibe. Since bursting onto the scene as a rookie with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Minshew has captivated fans with his Southern charm, throwback 1980s style, and unmistakable charisma. His unique blend of personality and performance has made him a fan favorite, and the latest viral video featuring the Las Vegas Raiders’ starting quarterback only adds to his growing legend.
The video, which has taken social media by storm, showcases Minshew in a shirtless training montage that has fans buzzing. Set to the nostalgic anthem “Higher” by Creed—a band currently enjoying their own resurgence—the clip feels like a perfect blend of the movie Joe Dirt meets Rocky IV.
The combination of Minshew’s vintage swagger and the powerful Creed soundtrack has quickly made the video a sensation, drawing comparisons to pop culture icons and solidifying Minshew’s status as the NFL’s most entertaining personality.
The montage, which captures Minshew in peak training mode, has garnered millions of views across various platforms. One particular post racked up 1.9 million views, while another surpassed 2.3 million, proving just how much fans are loving the Raiders’ QB1. Despite his popularity, Minshew himself has been relatively quiet on social media, not posting anything new since July 2022, when he announced he was selling the bus he had been living in for much of that year.

But while Minshew may have taken a step back from social media, one thing hasn’t changed—his love for showing off his bare chest, which has become something of a signature look reminiscent of Tom Selleck’s iconic “Magnum P.I.” character. The latest shirtless Minshew video has only further endeared him to fans, who can’t get enough of his throwback style and confident persona.
Minshew’s appeal goes beyond his looks, though. His underdog story, combined with his infectious personality, makes him a player that’s hard not to root for—even if you’re not a Raiders fan.
Whether he’s channeling 1980s action heroes or just being himself, Gardner Minshew continues to captivate audiences and bring a unique flavor to the NFL, one shirtless montage at a time.
