Highlight déjà vu: Haskins-to-McLaurin play nearly identical to TD catch at Ohio State

Haskins and McLaurin hooked up for an impressive TD on Monday, which was nearly identical to a highlight they had at Ohio State in college.

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. Take a look…

Though it’s on the opposite side of the field, the play is nearly identical. We’ve seen throughout this training camp that both Haskins and McLaurin have a special connection on the field, and they routinely hook up for stellar plays. This video helps remind us why — they’ve been doing it for a long time, and there’s no end in sight.
