Commanders’ Terry McLaurin reveals what changed for the better
Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin likes and appreciates some of the changes that Dan Quinn has made.
What stands out to you about this year’s Washington Commanders up to this point? Veteran receiver Terry McLaurin, interviewed by Scott Abraham of ABC 7 in Washington, D.C., shared his perspective. McLaurin acknowledged that the "Day 1 approach" implemented by new head coach Dan Quinn had a significant impact on the team. Quinn put together clips showing the standards for 2024 and 2025, highlighting the expectations for the team.
McLaurin noted that Quinn has raised the level of accountability this year compared to past seasons. He expects more from the players and allows the leaders to take a more active role in self-policing. This increased accountability and the sense of unity have fostered a stronger team environment, even during the preseason, which typically lacks the pressure of regular-season games.
McLaurin, who has been with the team since his seventh season in 2016, has witnessed the team's competitive spirit grow over time. This offseason, the Commanders have made strides in building a positive, competitive culture that should benefit their performance in the upcoming season.
