Twitter circles in Washington were abuzz on Monday morning when the video of the highlight-reel throw and catch from QB Dwayne Haskins to WR Terry McLaurin hit the web.
Near the end of practice, QB Dwayne Haskins fired a rocket downfield for a streaking Terry McLaurin, catching him in-stride as McLaurin beat Greg Stroman for a diving catch in the endzone. McLaurin quickly got up and punted the ball in celebration, tearing his helmet off and boasting with his teammates.
The video received a lot of attention online, with NFL superstar WR Michael Thomas shouting out McLaurin for the catch, and Ohio State — which is where both Haskins and McLaurin played together in college — mashed up Monday’s highlight with a similar play from their time together on Columbus.

This video helps remind us why — they’ve been doing it for a long time, and there’s no end in sight.
