NFL star Taylor Heinicke insists he has "best job in America" despite being back-up

Washington Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke clearly doesn't mind not starting on a regular basis, as he's claimed he has 'one of the best jobs in America' being a back-up.

Heinicke is set to be a free agent this off-season after three seasons in Washington, and is looking to secure his next move within the NFL. The quarterback appeared on the Pat McAfee Show to discuss his future, with a starting role set firmly in his sights.
