Terry McLaurin | 4 rec, 100 yards, 2 TDs

After a short two-week hiatus from McLaurin, the rookie finds his way back onto the top Buckeye performers list in week six.

You could make the legitimate argument that McLaurin has been the best former Buckeye in the NFL this season, and I would have a hard time arguing with you.

The rookie receiver has put up 408 yards on 23 receptions this season and has caught a touchdown in four of the five games that he has played in his NFL career. That is something that this league hasn’t seen in a long time.

Specifically last week, McLaurin was huge in getting the Redskins their first win of the season over the Dolphins. The former Buckeye caught four balls for 100 yards and caught the only two Redskins touchdowns in the 17-16 win over Miami.

It has been a rotating door at Washington at quarterback and that includes Dwayne Haskins, but McLaurin has produced on the field no matter who was throwing the ball to him. McLaurin is already an early candidate for offensive rookie of the year, something that no one thought he had a chance of accomplishing coming into this year.
