Had you gone an hour yet without reminding yourself that Washington’s second-year wide receiver Terry McLaurin is really good at football? Well, it is our job to keep you aware, though he’s done a pretty stellar job of doing that himself so far this year.
Coming off of an incredible performance against the Arizona Cardinals last week, where he had seven receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown, McLaurin reminded everyone that he is among the best young receivers in the game, and what he can do with the ball after the catch is remarkable. According to Pro Football Focus, McLaurin ranks first in the league for YAC (yards after catch) with 115 total, as well as forced missed tackles, where he has five so far this season.
Going up against a normally solid Cleveland secondary this weekend, McLaurin could benefit greatly from the potential injuries to both Greedy Williams and Denzel Ward. Williams has already been ruled out of the game, and Ward is listed as questionable. Regardless of who lines up against him, though, it will be a big challenge for any defender to stay in front of him, and an even greater task to take him to the ground once he has the ball.
