'Scary Terry' McLaurin warms up to nickname, just wants to play ball

ASHBURN, Va. -- The nickname wasn't original and might not stick, but it was appropriate. Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum, so he claims, dubbed rookie receiver Terry McLaurin as "Scary Terry" in training camp.

The moniker reached his high school, prompting his former coach at Cathedral High in Indianapolis, Rick Streiff, to chuckle.

"We laughed a little bit," Streiff said, "because he's not scary anywhere except on the field."
