Colt McCoy and Taylor Heinicke’s collegiate careers are eerily similar.
Despite their respective colleges being worlds apart in level of competition, each player had similar collegiate success.
Both quarterbacks came from big football states - McCoy from Texas, and Heinicke from Georgia, and were decorated high school athletes at the position. Both played four years at their respective school. Each player had similar measurables (although Colt is slightly bigger than the exaggerated height/weight of Taylor, who is not even 6’). Each quarterback relied on ability to move in the pocket and make off-platform throws in college, and both relied heavily on their legs to make things happen when they needed to.
