Jags’ Gardner Minshew Finally Got The Chance To Meet His Twin ‘Uncle Rico’ (PIC)

This is just one of the reasons why we love sports.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie QB Gardner Minshew has quickly become a folk hero in just his first few games in the NFL.

During his short time in the league, the former Washington State star has been regularly compared to “Uncle Rico”, who is the fictional character from the movie “Napoleon Dynamite.”

On Thursday, Uncle Rico was in Jacksonville to shoot a commercial for NFL Network and the two finally got a chance to meet each other.
