Taylor Heinicke burst onto the scene in 2020 after toiling around the NFL for four years, finally finding a home in DC. Miraculously, Heinicke impressed in the Washington Football Team’s Wild Card Game against the eventual champs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ultimately losing by one score but not before shining time and time again while facing the GOAT. DC’s QB became the starter after Ryan Fitzpatrick went down with a hip injury in Week 1 and has continued to impress since taking over the reigns, proving this could be more than a trial.

TAYLOR HEINICKE IS EXCEEDING ALL EXPECTATIONS IN DC WITH PROMISING POTENTIAL
COLORS KEY | FULL DC OUTLOOK
Every so often, a Quarterback journeys around the NFL and finds success. Heinicke showed enough potential to be re-signed to a 2-year extension worth $8.75M after he was pressed into starting duty in the Wild Card game against the Buccaneers. After being thrust into starting duty, Taylor Heinicke continues to prove that he has the potential to be Washington’s future franchise QB.
Heinicke led the Washington Football Team to a Week 4 34-30 win over the Atlanta Falcons, further showcasing his talent with multiple impressive plays in the clutch that DC fans haven’t seen from their team’s signal-caller in a while. Heinicke’s arm strength is terrific and is as accurate as any mid-tier Quarterback, a successful recipe in the modern NFL where QB’s need to evolve past their first read. Heinicke has done that as he keeps showing flashes of a quality QB but still has a lot to prove before potential becomes real success.
Heinicke made it happen for DC
