Top quotes from Terry McLaurin’s video conference with Redskins media

Just a day after both Ron Rivera and Dwayne Haskins sat down with media members in Washington, the Redskins gave us a chance to hear from star receiver Terry McLaurin, who is arguably the most hyped player on the roster going into his second year in the NFL.

During the video conference, McLaurin spoke about the unusual offseason that everyone has had to adjust to, as well as what he expects going forward. McLaurin also touched on his relationship with Haskins and the type of growth he’s seen from his college teammate so far this offseason. Here are the best quotes from the video conference:

McLaurin said this his first full offseason has been very different. No one could have planned for this, he said. But he has been working since the Super Bowl, so he had almost two extra months of work before facilities were shut down. #Redskins

McLaurin has emerged as one of the best young wife receivers in the league, and all the extra attention is a little different for him. He wouldn’t say he’s coming out of his shell, but he’s trying to get used to being a voice for the #Redskins

McLauring doesn’t get too involved with being an “alpha” among his fellow receivers. He’s more focused on doing the right things and he’s just excited to be a part of the WR group. #Redskins

McLaurin said he's understanding the new offense conceptually but wants to get out on the field and get the reps. "I'm excited to play wherever they put me." He expects to be the X receiver but has versatility

McLaurin said WRs coach Jim Hostler and OC Scott Turner have voiced their interest in having him play the X receiver, which is more of a outside, 1-on-1 threat. But the coaches also do not want to limit McLaurin's impact within the offense, so he could line up elsewhere.

McLaurin said Haskins got in touch with the receivers pretty early in the offseason to work together. The two are currently in Ashburn working, and McLaurin said so far things have gone great. #Redskins

McLaurin said @StevenSimsJr has made a "big jump" this offseason. "You can tell his feet are so clean." Also spoke highly of fellow second-year WR Kelvin Harmon. #Redskins

Terry McLaurin said he's had two lengthy conversations with new Redskins OC Scott Turner. McLaurin says big plays and getting the ball downfield are big focuses. That could work out well for McLaurin and Haskins is very willing to go deep

Terry McLaurin once again is showing his maturity. Every question about him – is answered very humbly, and all focused on his approach to being the best he can and to improve, he makes sure to stress the TEAM approach. #leader #httr
