Is Terry McLaurin thinking, "This season, I am going to remind everyone who I am"?
Legendary former Washington wide receiver Santana Moss was a guest on "BMitch and Finlay" on 106.7 The Fan, Thursday. Moss was asked this question by Finlay and responded as someone who spent 14 years in the NFL.
"It's one of those things as competitors," began Moss. "You might not see it in us, but we all think that way. We don't have to say it. There are certain guys that speak it, and then there are guys like Terry. He's going to go out there and, trust you me, he is not happy with how things were last year. Even from the start of it (offseason), from having to wait, and he finally got paid, and then he got hurt."
It was a tough season for McLaurin last year, and one of the really sad things about his training camp drama and then getting injured was that it didn't have to be that way. No one was forcing Terry to sit out/sit in training camp. Terry had a contract; he could have simply gone to work, avoiding all of that. Even more, to then get injured and be hampered during the season? That had to be really tough on McLaurin, knowing what last year looked like for himself.
"No guy wants to have that image or that memory you etched in their brain like he had," expressed Moss. "So, I'm pretty sure this offseason he got after it. I'm looking forward to whatever he has, because I'm pretty sure he understands like me and B (Brian Mitchell), when we got into those years."
Moss, in his career, grabbed 732 receptions for 10,283 receiving yards, 66 touchdowns, 495 receiving first downs, while averaging 14.0 yards per pass reception. He knows the NFL; he lived it, having to prove himself each season, especially after turning 30. McLaurin will turn 31 in September and is coming off of his only disappointing season thus far in his seven NFL seasons. Last year, McLaurin had career lows in games (10), receptions (38), receiving yards (582), touchdowns (3), and first downs (33).
"They're (Commanders staff) going to bring somebody new in every year. So, it's up to us (veteran players) to go out there and show them what our worth is. I'm pretty sure he's going to go out there and do just that."
