Only one player caught more touchdowns in the 2024 NFL season than Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders. Only the duo of Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase (17) connected for more touchdowns than the combination of Jayden Daniels and McLaurin (12).
If you count the playoffs, McLaurin and Daniels connected for 15 touchdowns. McLaurin also caught a regular-season touchdown from Marcus Mariota. The 13 touchdowns in the regular season were a career high for McLaurin. His previous career high was seven, set in his rookie year of 2019.
The duo of Daniels — the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year — and McLaurin led the Commanders to their first NFC Championship Game appearance in 33 years.
There were high expectations in 2025. Unfortunately, Washington failed to live up to expectations last season, primarily due to injuries. Daniels missed 10 games, while McLaurin missed 7. McLaurin had only missed three career games before last season. Of course, it was his worst career season, as he caught only 38 passes for 582 yards and three touchdowns. It ended a streak of five consecutive seasons of 1,000 yards receiving or more.
The Commanders have had a busy offseason, as they look to return to the playoffs in 2026. While there are plenty of new players on both sides of the ball, much of Washington's optimism centers around a healthy Daniels and McLaurin returning to form.
Washington began OTAs this week, and from the looks of it, the duo appeared to be back on the same page.
It's good to see Daniels and McLaurin back healthy and apparently picking up where they left off before a lost 2025 season. There's still a long way to go until Week 1, but a motivated and healthy Daniels and McLaurin will be trouble for the rest of the NFC East in 2026.
