Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heinicke, Kyle Allen to Have Open Competition for WFT QB Job

The quarterback competition in Washington is officially on.

With Ryan Fitzpatrick, Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen all in tow, head coach Ron Rivera told reporters Thursday that Fitzpatrick will mostly work with the starters, but his job as QB1 isn't secure. In fact, he wants to see Allen and Heinicke push the 38-year-old:

"It's going to be a good competition. I look forward to it. It's going to push our football team and make our football team better. I just feel that going into this knowing we have a proven guy there that has the ability to lead us, but again, we have a guy in Taylor that shows us he can do it.
