For the first five seasons of his career with the Washington Commanders, Terry McLaurin had multiple quarterback changes from year-to-year.
Despite the lack of stability, McLaurin continued to put up impressive numbers for the Commanders offense. It all changed once Jayden Daniels was drafted by the organization last year.
With the arrival of the Offensive Rookie of the Year, McLaurin put up All-Pro numbers with a career-high 13 touchdowns last season. He also got the first taste of playoff football as well.
As the duo continues to grow together, McLaurin believes the sky is the limit for both him and his quarterback.
“The way I saw Jayden grow leaps and bounds last year, honestly, we all knew the type of competitor he was when he first got here. He's an extremely smart player and he's very charismatic,” McLaurin said of Daniels via WUSA9.
“But you've got to see his competitive edge out there on Sundays and the way he just, again, was able to get better week in and week out and put his best foot forward. And again, I think it's just his competitive nature, where you feel like you got a chance to make big plays with the ball in his hands. So I'm just looking forward to growing with him.”
"Charisma'' is the characterization that rings true to us - a secret weapon for a player so young at age 24 with just one season under his belt.
Washington made a nine-win swing from 2023 to 2024 and reached the NFC Championship Game for the first time in 30 years.
Can the dup grow to new heights? Only time will tell moving forward.
