STM Take
A big-bodied young receiver already carrying his offense.
The case for
- 2025 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year on 70 catches for 1,014 yards at 6'4" 212; the size-plus-production profile is rare.
- Recent game log includes a 33 PPR Week 11 and 19.3 PPR Week 16; the ceiling weeks already exist.
The worry
- Bryce Young's tier-8 QB rank capped the air-yards volume; McMillan's year-two case rides on the QB tier improving.
- Recent game log shows a 1.5 PPR Week 17 and a 4.5 PPR Week 15; the floor games come when Young sits.
What to watch: Whether Bryce Young's year-four jump translates into a tier-2 WR finish for McMillan in 2026.
Full take and bio
McMillan's rookie line at STTM #21 tier 3 closed with the 2025 OROY award and a 1,000-yard season at age 22. The career arc starts with a Heisman-tier college resume and a top-10 draft slot. The Bryce Young tier-8 QB ceiling caps the team-level upside, but McMillan himself authored one of the cleanest rookie-WR seasons in recent memory.
McMillan was born in Waimanalo, Hawaii, played at Servite in Anaheim, and was a 2024 consensus All-American at Arizona where he won Polynesian College Football Player of the Year. Carolina took him eighth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. He produced 70 receptions for 1,014 yards and 7 TDs as a rookie en route to NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
