Terry McLaurin has been in Washington since 2019. While that’s only six seasons, it feels like a lot more. McLaurin has seen it all: multiple owners, multiple coaches, name changes, a lot of quarterbacks, and even more losing.
Finally, things are heading in the right direction, and McLaurin couldn’t be happier.
While there are many reasons for the Commanders’ turnaround, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels stands out above them all. On Sunday, Daniels led the Commanders to an 18-15 win over the Chicago Bears. It wasn’t just any win. Daniels’ Hail Mary into the waiting hands of wide receiver Noah Brown pushed Washington to 6-2 on the season.
McLaurin was excellent again, finishing with five receptions for 125 yards.
After the game, McLaurin was leaving the field and wanted to take a second to show his appreciation for Washington fans.

Through the good and bad, Washington fans have always chanted McLaurin’s name. And he’s always made time for them.
While McLaurin shared his love for the fans, Daniels joined Scott Van Pelt on ESPN’s Sportscenter and showed his appreciation for the fans, too.
“I love the fan base here man, I love the DMV, I love this organization man, I couldn’t be happier for them.”
