There are a lot of NFL players to marvel at, and one is Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin.
Having been with the franchise for six years, McLaurin has been through some dark times with the franchise and a revolving door at quarterback, with the franchise failing to give him a genuine star at the position.
Still, McLaurin put up good numbers every season, with just once not surpassing 1,000 yards, and the one year he didn't was his rookie season (919 yards).
Now having Jayden Daniels, McLaurin had a superb 2024 season, registering 1096 yards and a career-high 13 touchdowns, and that was in his first season with Daniels.
So, what can we expect in 2025?
ESPN's Mike Clay, in his annual 2025 projections, has McLaurin again as a key feature of the offense.
McLaurin's 2025 projections: 79 receptions, 1,054 yards, six touchdowns.
If "Scary Terry" does reach Clay's projections, it would make it the sixth consecutive season in which he has surpassed that mark, and continue his career-long high standards.
Having developed a superb connection with Daniels last season, McLaurin will again be a focal point of Kliff Kingsbury's offense, and going by Clay's projections, it will be Terry who helps push the unit along.
Now, McLaurin's stats don't mean the Commanders are going to sweep the league like they did in 2024, but it does show the confidence McLaurin has to continue his high level of play for another season.
The Commanders are in win-now mode, and if McLaurin produces another 1,000-yard season, we think it's a safe bet that Washington will again be playoff-bound.
