“It’s been just two weeks, but the Redskins have found their No. 1 wide receiver in rookie Terry McLaurin.” — Ethan Cadeaux, NBC Sports

“If Washington is ‘the rough,’ WR Terry McLaurin is ‘the diamond.’” —Zachary Neel, Redskins Wire

“Terry McLaurin spent his college days preparing for the unexpected. In the NFL, it’s paid off. “ — Les Carpenter, The Washington Post

“The speed of the game was a little fast my first day at practice, but I have to give credit to Ohio State,”

McLaurin said. “I mean they really prepared me for this level— the study, the game, the practice habits, taking care of my body after a long day at practice.”

McLaurin said practicing with NFL type talent every day at Ohio State gave him an added advantage over other guys who were drafted.

“I’m used to competing at a very high level,” he said.

Speaking of NFL type talent, McLaurin is joined by his former quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who was drafted No. 15 overall by the Redskins.



The Redskins—whether they saw this tweet or not—granted Haskins’ wish and the pair have been supporting each other ever since.

“Transitioning from college to the NFL is both of our dreams and doing it together is nice because you kind of have that buddy to help you through some of the tough times of being a rookie and adjusting to the new environment,” McLaurin said. “We’ve really been trying to help each other along our journey.”

As a duo in 2018, Haskins and McLaurin combined for 35 receptions for 701 yards and 11 touchdowns, including three times for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the Big Ten Championship win over Northwestern in McLaurin’s hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.

While Haskins had an impressive preseason, the Redskins ultimately decided to go with Keenum—who they acquired from the Denver Broncos—as their starting quarterback. It hasn’t taken long, however, for McLaurin to become Keenum’s go-to guy.

TERRY MCLAURIN BECOMES FIRST PLAYER IN NFL HISTORY WITH RECEIVING TOUCHDOWN, AT LEAST FIVE CATCHES IN FIRST THREE GAMES

107082_h.jpg


Former Ohio State wide receiver Terry McLaurin made NFL history on Monday night.

With six receptions for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Washington Redskins' loss to the Chicago Bears, McLaurin became the first player in league history to catch at least five passes and score a receiving touchdown in each of his first three NFL games.




McLaurin caught five passes for 125 yards with a 69-yard touchdown in his debut game against the Philadelphia Eagles, then caught five passes for 62 yards with a one-yard touchdown reception in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys.

On Monday night, McLaurin's touchdown catch came from 15 yards out.



On a Redskins team that has lost its first three games of the season, McLaurin – who the Redskins selected with the No. 76 overall pick in this year's NFL draft – has been perhaps their biggest bright spot.
