Minium: We All Knew Taylor Heinicke was an NFL Quarterback, and Now America Knows, Too

By Harry Minium

We watched him pass for nearly 15,000 yards and 132 touchdowns and set 32 school records and stage so many miraculous comebacks in four seasons at Old Dominion University that we already knew, didn't we?

We knew Taylor Heinicke had the arm, the brains, the determination and guts, the sweet moves when pressured in the pocket and the ability to float through the air and dive into a pylon if that's what it took to score a touchdown. We knew, if given the right opportunity, behind an offensive line that could protect him adequately, and with a coach who truly let Taylor be Taylor, that he had the right stuff to make it in the NFL.
