LOOK: Blaine Gabbert loses Arizona QB challenge, takes turn in costume

Former Missouri Tigers quarterback Blaine Gabbert was the subject of some good-natured ribbing by his NFL team, the Arizona Cardinals.
It appears Gabbert lost the team’s quarterback challenge game, something that ESPN outlined last year.
The game came from when Carson Palmer was in Cincinnati and he picked it up from Jon Kitna.
A garbage can is set up in either the back corners of the end zone so the quarterbacks can work on throwing goal-line fades.
In one version, the quarterbacks use a sudden-death format, and each throw gets a certain amount of points. The game has evolved and the format has changed. At one point it was timed.
The result for the loser, for Gabbert apparently in this case, is wearing a costume or outfit. If the Cardinals have a home game that week, the loser wears the outfit all pregame, including briefly on the field. If it’s a road game, the loser wears the chosen outfit from Arizona to the destination. Gabbert appears at an airport in this picture.
On the field, Gabbert is the third-string quarterback for Arizona, but his coach believes he could be a starter. Gabbert played for Jacksonville and San Francisco earlier in his career. In three preseason games this year, Gabbert was 25-for-44 for 309 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception.
