Summary

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin praised coach Dan Quinn for implementing a high standard of accountability heading into the 2026 season.

The veteran receiver highlighted a shift toward increased competitiveness during training camp, which he identified as one of the most intense he has experienced in his eight-year career. The team aims to move forward from a difficult preseason performance against the Ravens as the regular season begins this Sunday in Philadelphia.
