After the Washington Football Team completed their first training camp practice, No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin met with the media.

One of the top topics of conversations was COVID-19 and vaccinations. McLaurin admitted he was vaccinated. While he respects the choice of every player’s choice to be vaccinated or not, McLaurin is going to do what he feels is best for the team.

Washington coach Ron Rivera made headlines on Tuesday when he said he was “beyond frustrated” at the team’s low vaccination rate. Rivera referenced his own situation as a reminder. Rivera was diagnosed with cancer last year and went through treatments throughout the season.

In speaking about vaccines, McLaurin specifically mentioned his coach’s personal situation.

“We have to be mindful of that,” McLaurin said.

McLaurin didn’t only talk about vaccines on Wednesday. he also spoke about his new quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick.

McLaurin and Fitzpatrick connected multiple times on Wednesday, one of which was captured by Washington’s official Twitter account.

Finally, McLaurin talked about the offseason and what he worked on. One area of improvement for McLaurin was beating cornerbacks off the line.

It was a good first day for McLaurin and Washington’s wide receivers.
