Veteran QB Taylor Heinicke announces his retirement
Heinicke, who went undrafted out of Old Dominion, went on to become a career backup quarterback across multiple NFL teams, most notably the Washington Commanders.
After nine seasons of NFL play, veteran quarterback Taylor Heinicke is hanging up his cleats. On Thursday, the longtime backup quarterback announced in a post on Instagram that he is retiring from the league. “For 25 years, I had the pleasure to play this great sport of football… It has taught me a lot, not only about myself, but about life as well,” Heinicke said in a post on his Instagram, which is private.
“Many ups and downs throughout the years, but the ups outweigh the downs tenfold. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would’ve been able to live this life. “Thank you to all who have supported me on this journey.
Thank you all who have believed in me. And thank you to those who gave me the opportunity to live out my childhood dream,” he continued. “Excited for this next chapter of my life!
