It’s Fitzpatrick vs. Heinicke in Washington QB ‘competition’
Associated PressRICHMOND, Va. — Taylor Heinicke does not think there is a quarterback competition at Washington’s training camp. “We don’t really treat this as a competition — more as, ‘Hey, let’s help each other get better.’” It helps that they are at the opposite ends of the career spectrum. His 13 comebacks and 18 game-winning drives earned him the nickname “FitzMagic.” Heinicke was a Football Championship Subdivision star at Old Dominion and bounced around four different organizations before deciding to take college classes online. “ does a lot of things that you sit there and you watch him and you say, ‘Well, he does that because he’s a veteran,’” Rivera said. “What’s productive is just to focus on myself every single day, focus on the things I need to work on — and with that, being the leader of a unit, sometimes my focus isn’t just about me,” Fitzpatrick said.
