On Thursday, McLaurin spoke with local media for the first time since Haskins' benching. The second-year wide receiver said he plans to do whatever he can to help Haskins, but stressed the quarterback "can't feel sorry" for himself moving forward.
"I think it's easy when you get knocked down in life to sulk or feel bad for ourselves," McLaurin said. "Oftentimes, the only way you get through something is you attack it head-on. You've got to be honest with yourself. You have to ask yourself what you can do better and attack it from there."
McLaurin stressed that the NFL is a 'What have you done for me lately?' league and that there are no handouts at the highest level of the sport. Just because Haskins was a first-round pick and a highly-touted prospect means very little anymore.
