Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is off to a fantastic start to his NFL career. In Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, McLaurin’s first catch was a 19-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give Washington an early 10-0 lead.
The touchdown was McLaurin’s third on the season.
For McLaurin, who is only in his fourth NFL season, joined some fairly elite company in the Week 13 game against the Giants.
Courtesy of Washington’s PR, McLaurin moved from No. 13 to No. 11 in the franchise’s career receptions list. He passed Henry Ellard and Michael Westbrook.
McLaurin also went over 4,000 yards in his NFL career.
However, perhaps the most significant honor of McLaurin’s work Sunday was becoming only the sixth player in NFL history to catch at least 50 passes and have 900 yards or more receiving in each of his first four seasons.
WR Terry McLaurin is the sixth player in NFL history to have at least 50 receptions and 900 receiving yards in each of his first four seasons joining Randy Moss, A.J. Green, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans and Joey Galloway.
