LOOK: Taylor Heinicke’s shoes honoring UVA shooting victims
Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke likes shoes. We learned of Heinicke’s unique way of celebrating wins this season is by buying a pair of Jordans in the opposing team’s colors.
Fortunately for the Commanders, Heinicke has been buying a lot of shoes lately, with Washington winning five of its previous six games, including four of those wins with Heinicke under center.
Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, Heinicke had another new pair of shoes, this time they were customized to honor the three shooting victims from the University of Virginia.

UVA football players Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry were tragically killed after returning from a field trip on Nov. 13. Last week; the Commanders wore decals on their helmets honoring the three victims, while head coach Ron Rivera, tight end Logan Thomas and kicker Joey Slye wore University of Virginia shirts. Thomas and Slye played college football at Virginia Tech.
Kudos to Heinicke on the kicks.
