After a stellar rookie season where he put up over 900 yards and seven touchdowns, expectations for Terry McLaurin’s sophomore year in the NFL are definitely high.
Coming into the 2020 season as one of the best receivers in his draft class, McLaurin now has the goal of becoming one of the best receivers in all of the NFL. So what are realistic expectations for the former Ohio State star? At The Huddle, they are projecting Jacobs to total 980 yards and eight touchdowns on 68 receptions, making him the 23rd ranked WR. Take a look at their thoughts on McLaurin this season:
Despite poor quarterback play, McLaurin delivered a strong rookie campaign and became the No. 1 option in the Washington passing attack. If Dwayne Haskins can make strides in his second year under center, 1,000 yards and WR2 production could both be on tap for McLaurin in 2020.
Unfortunately for McLaurin, he plays at a position where his own talent level is not the only factor in his production. One of the most impressive things about his stand-out rookie campaign was the fact that he was able to put up such impressive numbers with a major lack of consistency at the quarterback position. Coming into this season, expectations for Dwayne Haskins are higher as well, and there is a hope that the two can further their connection, one that has been in the works since their time together at Ohio State in college.
At the moment, McLaurin has an average draft position (ADP) of 58, according to ESPN, which means he’s being taken somewhere around the fifth round for most leagues. While reports from Washington’s training camp have been that the offense is looking solid, public perception of the unit is still low, so don’t be surprised if you are able to grab Terry when your time comes around.
