Another day, another interesting development for the Carolina Panthers at the backup quarterback position.
Many have probably heard by now that Garrett Gilbert is the favorite to win the backup quarterback position. As of now, that is still the case, but another individual is slowly forcing his way into the conversation.
Taylor Heinicke also hopes to prove himself to the Carolina Panthers organization and show that he is more than just a number.
The Panthers signed Heinicke with the idea that he could receive some playing time. To date, Heincke has thrown only one pass in the National Football League and that was when he was with Houston in the 2017 season.
