Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is smiling a lot these days. That’s what winning does for you. At 6-2, the Commanders are in first place in the NFC East almost halfway through the season, and McLaurin is on pace for career-high numbers.
On Sunday, McLaurin experienced one of the most, if not the most, exciting moments in Northwest Stadium’s 27 years of existence. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels uncorked a pass 65 yards through the air with injured ribs and into the hands of wide receiver Noah Brown to give the Commanders a shocking “Hail Mary” win over the Chicago Bears.
On Tuesday, McLaurin joined Kay Adams on “Up & Adams,” discussing this dream season.
“I’m having the time of my career,” McLaurin said. “I’m having a lot of fun. The cameras catch me a lot, just being in the moment and being able to let loose, like going into each and every week. Believing in the guys we have in this locker room and the way we’re coming out with some of these games, we don’t really know how it’s going to show up. But all the training we put in since the offseason started is really starting to show up in different ways. So, when you’re doing that, and you’re doing it with a group of guys you really love going to work with, it makes it really fun. And when you’re making plays, too, and helping your team win, that’s always the cherry on top.”

Is there any player you’re more happier for than McLaurin? Playing a position where players often put their numbers ahead of team success that’s not McLaurin. Despite how bad things have been, McLaurin has always remained positive on the field, in the locker room, and the community.
And if he stays at the same pace for the remaining nine games, he will have established career highs in all of the top receiving categories.
