At Senior Bowl, Terry McLaurin asked about his Ohio State teammates Nick Bosa, Dwayne Haskins

MOBILE, Ala. – Terry McLaurin must have thought for a moment he was being interviewed for a front office job rather than a wide receiver job. In a meeting with the Cardinals this week, McLaurin said he was asked whether he would take Nick Bosa with the first overall pick. You know, the one the Cardinals currently hold.

There has been a lot of that this week for McLaurin. While he is here at the Senior Bowl, two of his Ohio State teammates who figure to go very early in the upcoming draft are not. Teams therefore are using this opportunity to not only evaluate McLaurin as a wide receiver prospect, but also pick his brain on players such as Bosa, the pass-rusher who is recovering from surgery to repair a core muscle injury, and quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

“I’ve gotten questions about everything,” McLaurin said. “I have no problem deferring and talking about my teammates. Those are my guys. They work really, really hard. I work hard too, but if I have the chance to pump them up I’m going to take that opportunity.”

He did the same with the media.

On Bosa, who left school after an early season injury to focus on rehabbing for the draft, McLaurin said he was a “great teammate” and that the Ohio State players were not upset by the decision to leave.

“He has a life-changing opportunity,” McLaurin said. “While we missed him and we wished we could have had him, we understood.”

And on Haskins, McLaurin raved about how much the red-shirt sophomore grew as a leader in his one season as the starting quarterback. McLaurin was the senior captain, an honor he took seriously, but he eventually was glad to be unseated by Haskins.

“His throws are always going to be great, but at that position he’s going into where he’s going to be a top-10 pick, he needs to be a great leader,” McLaurin said. “The maturation he had from TCU where he was unsure and we struggled on offense [Ohio State trailed 14-13 at halftime of an eventual 40-28 victory] to the time in the Maryland game [a thrilling 52-51 victory], he was taking over our offense and I was deferring to him. That’s what you want to see out of your quarterback.”
