Even during last year's slump, his 58.2 yards per game would have translated to a 989-yard season over a full, healthy campaign. Back at 100 percent, McLaurin enters Year 2 of his contract extension primed to bounce back as the lead receiver in Washington's revamped aerial attack.PositiveRoleJul 27, 2026
