No more mullet for Gardner Minshew II

Mondays are heavy days historically, but this one is particularly so because Gardner Minshew II's mullet is no more.

Yeah, Minshew may have gotten a haircut Sunday, but this is the first I'm learning about it. So the pain is as fresh as if the stylist had just swept the Jacksonville Jaguars' backup quarterback's fallen locks from the floor.
