Terry McLaurin has averaged over 1,000 yards receiving in three NFL seasons and that's despite playing with 8 (!!) different starting quarterbacks. https://t.co/8VkkObBqjt

If Jahan Dotson's success in OTAs and minicamp can translate to live-action, he and Terry McLaurin are going to be one hell of a wide receiver duo

Let's go @TheTerry_25! A long time coming https://t.co/eG8GrCGxKd

He got paid and deserves every penny.

well deserved

last year just 62.7% of Terry McLaurin’s targets were catchable...

the lowest rate of all WRs with 100+ targets

he's made more out of less than most WRs in the NFL https://t.co/9R08gOd92J

Most receptions in a player's first 3 seasons in Commanders history:

1. Terry McLaurin 222
2. Gary Clark 202
3. Jamison Crowder 192
4. Jordan Reed 182@TheTerry_25 really like that 😤 pic.twitter.com/UIaZ85jskl

In honor of Terry McLaurin getting paid, here’s a highlight reel from his rookie season😎 pic.twitter.com/kJQYJCijEr
— Owen Kidd (@OKiddVT) June 28, 2022

75 players were drafted ahead of Terry McLaurin in the 2019 NFL Draft. He was drafted after N’Keal Harry, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Andy Isabella & Jalen Hurd. He has earned EVERYTHING. Nothing was given to him. Everything around him in Washington has been a disaster. HE STILL WINS 💰

There’s not a player more deserving of a big money deal than Terry McLaurin. I’m so happy for him and his family
