The Washington Redskins have something truly special with Terry McLaurin.
McLaurin fell to the third round and has been every bit of a No. 1 wideout for the Redskins since his arrival.
And now he’s in the running for some individual honors, as noted by Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson:
Through six weeks, McLaurin has a top-10 grade among all wideouts (83.3) and ranks one spot ahead of Michael Thomas, a player who previously saw his talents overlooked by playing in the same role in college. McLaurin has at least 50 receiving yards in every game he has featured in so far, and he has caught five touchdowns in five games.
As Monson goes on to note, McLaurin has even drawn some massive names in the form of Stephon Gilmore and others. It just goes to show he’s already commanding top-tier respect from the opposition.
McLaurin is up to 23 catches for 408 yards and five touchdowns already. Given the opponents he’s had to face and the quarterback carousel for his offense, it’s easy to suggest McLaurin won’t hit a big regression, if at all.
And if that’s the case, he could indeed be reeling in some awards.
