Summary

While not quite the Kurt Warner story, Taylor Heinicke's success seemed improbable. Undrafted in 2015, he bounced around the league with stops in Minnesota, Houston, New England, and Carolina but never made his mark. He was out of the league last year studying mathematics at his alma mater when the Football Team signed him to the practice squad. A month later, he's starting in the playoffs and holding his own against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That heroic performance led to a 2-year contract worth up to $8.75 million.

Washington all-in with Taylor Heinicke

Washington Football Team QB Taylor Heinicke has belief from head coach Ron Rivera that he can handle the starting duties. Heinicke has shown good mobility and accuracy when he is forced out, but the team wants to hone him in a bit. 'He plays a little bit like his hair is on fire,' Rivera said. 'He plays a little bit like a gunslinger. But I think, and I hopefully believe that he's matured a little bit.' I think just understanding the game even more so. He's learned to be patient, take what's given to him, and I think he has a really good feel for when he takes his shots, too.'
