You have to admire Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke. Not only for his amazing backstory but for his humility. Heinicke never takes his current situation for granted.
Heinicke understands that his current situation as an NFL starting quarterback could go away anytime, so he is enjoying every second.
We know about Heinicke and Air Jordans. Every time Washington wins a game with Heinicke under center, he celebrates by buying a pair of Jordans in the opposing team colors. With four wins in his five starts this season, Heinicke has begun to amass an impressive collection of sneakers.
He’s also begun to include his teammates in the fun.
Now, Heinicke is in the t-shirt business. To capitalize on his fame, Heinicke has a website [taylorheinickestore.com] where he has different shirts and sweatshirts for sale.
His newest shirt is a good one, and it features wide receiver Terry McLaurin.
Check it out.

The new shirt reads: F— IT!!, Terry down there somewhere!”
It’s funny — and true.
Heinicke explained the evolution of the new shirt on Wednesday.
Heinicke says the "F It" Terry McLaurin shirt was posted by his group of friends in a group chat — then proceeded with his agent…
I guess the idea was already out there or in use…who knows.

Apparently, it’s already a big seller. Heinicke’s style of play is exciting and nerve-wracking, all at the same time.
The Commanders at 6-5, winners of five of their last six games, are embracing it. Even head coach Ron Rivera likes wearing Heinicke shirts [not this one].
“These from last week [A pair of Green and White Jordans],” Rivera said. “Best part of it was I put on a Taylor Heinicke t-shirt too.”
Heinicke and the Commanders face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
