The moment that best explains Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan’s rookie season came after a 32-yard gain was erased by a borderline offensive pass interference call against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

McMillan didn’t argue the call or dwell on it. He adjusted. “I may not have the luxury of getting as much calls as I used to in college,” he said later.

The No. 8 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft's first campaign as a pro looks dominant on paper: 70 catches, 1,014 receiving yards, seven touchdowns, and franchise rookie records across the board.
