Washington Commanders’ fans love wide receiver Terry McLaurin. And McLaurin loves them back. On Saturday, McLaurin held his first youth football camp in Washington, D.C., with around 150 kids.
Several media members were in attendance, capturing photos and videos of McLaurin holding his camp.

McLaurin said he was excited about teaching the kids some “ball” and hoped to get everyone excited for the upcoming 2023 NFL season.
Darren Haynes of WUSA Channel 9 in Washington even snapped a photo of McLaurin with his son.

Finally, some of the local reporters caught up with McLaurin once the camp was over, as captured by Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. In true McLaurin fashion, he was humble and thankful and spoke of setting a good example for the kids.
