Summary
Tetairoa McMillan is a towering, intimdating boundary WR with a sleek overall body type and good weight on his frame. His burst off the line is good, but he's not overly explosive. His speed is fine for his size. Occasionally, he runs into trouble against press because he doesn't have incredible lateral agility but fights through it with good regularity because of his size and strength. He runs with quality lean and isn't stiff for his size. Very Gumby-like. After the catch, McMillan is an absolute menace, as his speed seems to hit a new level, and he demonstrate tremendous contact balance, plus vision and spatial awareness. Plays just about to his size at the catch point, as he's a decent leaper and can pluck the ball away from his frame, but he's not ridiculously sure-handed. He probably won't be a separator on intricate routes in the NFL. On a more linear route tree, he can become a true No. 1 in time because of his deceptive fluidity, long limbs, quality speed and ferocious YAC talent.

Panthers' Tetairoa McMillan: Selected by Carolina at No.8
The Panthers selected McMillan in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, eighth overall.
Bryce Young gave Carolina reason to believe he's the quarterback of the future down the stretch last season, and now the team is giving him a premier option out wide to bolster his supporting cast. McMillan entered the season as the top receiver prospect in this class, but Matthew Golden's performance at the combine made that more of an open question after McMillan did not test in Indianapolis. A big-bodied wideout with an elite catch radius, McMillan was a walking highlight at Arizona. He caught 26 touchdowns in three seasons in Tucson, often embarrassing smaller corners in the process. Standing in at 6-foot-4 with 10-inch hands and a 78-inch wingspan, McMillan is a big boundary target for Young. McMillan stands out for his ability to use his frame to win in contested situations. Despite not having dynamic long speed, McMillan can still find ways to come down with the ball. Drake London is a popular comparison for McMillan, and it's apt based on how McMillan performed in college.
