Tetairoa McMillan Ready to Shine in Week 1 Against Jacksonville
Tetairoa McMillan. The 6-foot-5 rookie is poised for an immediate impact after leading the Big 12 with 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns on 84 receptions last season. His path to a significant role was cleared when fellow wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve. The Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars presents a highly favorable opportunity for McMillan. The Jaguars' pass defense ranked last in the NFL in 2024 and struggled particularly against big-bodied receivers. With the Panthers likely needing a pass-heavy approach, this contest provides an excellent chance for McMillan to establish chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young. Given the lack of depth behind him and the favorable matchup, McMillan should be considered a solid low-end WR2 or high-end WR3, despite the typical rookie inconsistencies.
