Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan’s rookie season has officially crossed the line from encouraging to historic. Now, it’s racing toward a defining finish.
With one game left and the NFC South title hanging in the balance, McMillan is no longer just putting together impressive numbers for a first-year wideout — he’s closing in on franchise records that have stood for more than a decade. He also finds himself at the center of one of the tightest NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year races in recent memory.
At 929 receiving yards, McMillan ranks second among all rookie wide receivers in the NFL, trailing Emeka Egbuka of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by just a single yard.
