Social media feeds have been filled with nonstop talk of Joe Exotic and the bizarre big cat community in the United States. The premiere of Tiger King on Netflix has given everyone something fun to talk about during a time of quarantine and social distancing.

If you had to pick one NFL player who could easily play Mr. Exotic in a biopic, it would have to be Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew. That's even more true after Minshew posted a picture on Instagram declaring himself "Jaguar King."

Here kitty kitty #JaguarKing

Minshew is a whole vibe. His flowing hair, mustache, and cutoff jean shorts made him a personality Jaguars fans could get behind in 2019. He also went 6-6 as a starter in his rookie season after filling in for Nick Foles.

The Joe Exotic cosplayer is now firmly set as the starter in Jacksonville with Foles being traded to Chicago, and it's safe to say he's loving life as the man in charge.

For those who haven't seen the show, his caption of "here kitty kitty" is in reference to a song performed by Exotic to antagonize a Florida woman named Carole Baskin, who allegedly fed her first husband to her own tigers. Yes, it's a wild ride.

The entire story is pure insanity and has become a talking point in pop culture. Anyone confused by Minshew's post needs to sit down and watch the series immediately. It will all make sense within the first two minutes of viewing.
