Minium: Taylor Heinicke Psyched for the Beginning of Washington's Training Camp in Richmond

By Harry Minium

Life has changed, perhaps forever, for former Old Dominion University quarterback Taylor Heinicke.

That was certain to happen after a January NFL playoff game in which he completed 26 of 44 passes for 306 yards and ran six more times for 46 yards and a touchdown and nearly led the Washington Football Team to an upset over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It was a remarkable performance that turned Heinicke into something of a celebrity. Brady and the Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl. Heinicke, meanwhile, saw his NFL career resurrected essentially from the NFL graveyard.
