ASHBURN Dwayne Haskins Redskins Jersey , Va. (AP) — Terry McLaurin dropped the ball, and Donald Penn was incensed.When the rookie receiver came back to the Washington Redskins huddle, the elder statesman of the offensive line lost his cool.“Terry, come here,” Penn yelled. “Terry, we need that. Catch the ball before you run with it.”McLaurin didn’t get his back up about the criticism. He promised Penn he’d make up for the drop and did so the next time the ball went his way, a big gain that helped Washington beat Miami for its first victory of the season.By that point, the third-round pick out of Ohio State already had two touchdown catches and proved to be a matchup nightmare to opposing defenses. But McLaurin has become the Redskins’ best offensive player after taking part in just five NFL games and is one of the few bright spots in a lost season because of a maturity beyond his years paired with a lot of talent.“He is focused, he is high energy, he’s tuned in and nothing kind of gets by him,” interim coach Bill Callahan said Wednesday. “As he just continues to work diligently and he maintains his focus and shows continual improvement, the sky’s the limit for him. We’re just really happy for him and good to see him have the success he’s had this year and he’s really helped our offensive unit by a large stretch.”McLaurin’s 23 catches, 408 yards and five touchdowns lead all rookies. He’s the first rookie receiver since Terry Glenn in 1996 with 50-plus yards receiving in each of his first five games.This level of production is no surprise to the Redskins coaching staff or anyone who watched McLaurin in training camp. A handful of practices were enough evidence to show he was already better than (since released) 2016 first-round pick Josh Doctson and probably the best receiver on the team.McLaurin wasn’t sure how big a role he’d have this season. It’s a big one and just keeps growing.“I felt like I had a good chance of being a contributor on this offense,” McLaurin said. “And then when I stepped into the starting role, I knew my play needed to increase that much more. I felt like it’s continually changing and growing in that offense, which I’m very excited about, and I feel like that’s because I’m giving our coaches and the quarterback a great sense of confidence in me. That’s what you want to do as any player, especially as a rookie.”Case Keenum, who’s expected to again start at quarterback Sunday against the unbeaten San Francisco 49ers, called McLaurin a “very friendly target.” At 6 feet and 210 pounds, he’s not physically imposing but is meticulous in how he runs routes and believes it’s his job to make a quarterback’s job easier.“He’s a special guy,” Keenum said. “He’s really hard worker, he’s extremely talented and he’s friendly on the eyes as a quarterback. Just the body language he gives in and out of breaks, it makes sense. I know where he’s going to be at all times.”It’ll be up to 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman and a stingy San Francisco 49ers defense to keep track of McLaurin this week. A 100-yard effort against the Dolphins looks like just the start of McLaurin tearing up opposing defenses as he gets more accustomed to the pro game.That’s an ongoing process.“I’ve been feeling more comfortable as the weeks have gone on,” McLaurin said. “I feel like the coach is doing a good job of really putting me in positions to be successful, the quarterbacks are putting the ball where they need it to be, so I’m just trying to make the plays when they come to me.”And when he doesn’t, it’s back to the drawing board. McLaurin struggled with drops at Ohio State and on Wednesday put a focus on seeing every ball into his arms like an outfielder watches a fly ball into his glove.That attention to detail — and the willingness to beat himself up over mistakes — has earned McLaurin some major respect among veteran teammates.“I fell in love with the guy on Sunday — he’s my new little guy now,” Penn said. “He’s quiet. He’s real humble. He just goes about his business and works hard.”McLaurin is trying to ignore buzz about being in the running for offensive rookie of the year but knows the NFL is a production-based league. As his production increases, so have the attempts at a nickname: Keenum suggested “Scary Terry,” fellow receiver Trey Quinn threw out “SecreTerry of Offense.”The unassuming 24-year-old prefers something more along the lines of “F1 McLaurin” to play off the McLaren racing team or what buddies call him back home: “T-Mac” or “MacMania.”“A play on words with my last name, I’m all friendly with that,” McLaurin said.Given how much the Redskins adore him already, perhaps a “Superbad” inspired “McLovin” fits their newest star. ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The question about that one particular, infamous play wasn’t complete when Mark Sanchez interrupted to deliver a perfectly straight-faced, deadpan response.“I’m not following,” he said.For a guy who was a first-round NFL draft pick and played in a pair of AFC title games at the outset of his professional career, Sanchez knows — fairly or not — his name is associated with “The Butt Fumble.” And so he was able to crack a smile — and a retort — when it was brought up at a news conference Wednesday before Sanchez participated in his first practice as the Washington Redskins‘ latest starting quarterback.He’ll be on the field Sunday when Washington (6-6) hosts the New York Giants (4-8).“What are you going to do? It was a crappy play in a game we were getting our butts kicked https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey ,” Sanchez said about that turnover after running into one of his linemen during his New York Jets’ 49-19 loss to the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving Day six years ago.“Some low-hanging fruit, so that was an easy reach for you,” he said. “I’m just kidding! I’m just kidding! Come on. You can give it to me; I can give it right back. Come on. Thick skin in here, huh? No, listen: Who cares? It’s one play. And just move on. I prefer to remember the good stuff.”Which, of course, is exactly what he should do.Let others focus on a long-ago blunder — as many on Twitter did during Washington’s 28-13 loss to Philadelphia on Monday night, when Sanchez recovered his own fumble by holding the ball against his behind.“In my mind, he shouldn’t let that (2012 play for the Jets) define him,” said Giants coach Pat Shurmur, who was the offensive coordinator for Sanchez when both were with the Eagles in 2014-15. “We are all involved in many, many plays and many, many games. There’s many, many good things that happen. You’re involved in a lot of wins and, unfortunately, you’re involved once in a while in a bad play or a bad game.”The 32-year-old Sanchez hasn’t won a regular-season start in almost exactly four years. And he has thrown for more interceptions (87) than TDs (86) in the NFL.But he was the only QB the team had after Alex Smith and Colt McCoy each went down with a broken right leg in a span of three games.“In some ways, two weeks ago, it was an unfamiliar position. But really, historically, it’s a familiar position. You work for something, you pray for something, and then it finally happens — you don’t care what the circumstances are,” Sanchez said. “You’re just happy to get a shot.”He joked Wednesday about being unfamiliar with his teammates: “Don’t ask me their names.”Joked, too, about Adrian Peterson’s 90-yard touchdown run against Philadelphia on Sanchez’s first play after entering for the injured McCoy: “That was a pretty good handoff, huh?”Now, though, coach Jay Gruden knows that Washington’s faint playoff hopes rest with a QB who was signed a couple of weeks ago.“It’s not easy for any quarterback, no matter how long you play. If you don’t get any reps in training camp or preseason or regular season with the guys you’re playing with, and you don’t know the terminology, so to speak, it’s a great challenge,” Gruden said about Sanchez. “But he’s a veteran guy and I think he’ll do the best he can.”Notes: CB Quinton Dunbar, WR Trey Quinn, G Jonathan Cooper went on injured reserve, and the Redskins signed QB Josh Johnson, G Zac Kerin, C Demetrius Rhaney and DE Marcus Smith. Johnson has not attempted a pass in a regular-season NFL game since 2011.
