2025 Fantasy Outlook
McMillan's college career was about as good as it gets, starting with a 702-yard, eight-TD showing in 2022 as a true freshman at Arizona. He then put up 90-1,402-10 in 2023 and 84-1,319-8 in 2024, maintaining his massive production last season even as the rest of the Wildcats offense fell off a cliff (no other player had more than 323 receiving yards or three receiving TDs). The stats and film are good enough to project McMillan as a top-15 pick, albeit not quite at the level of 2024 standout prospects Malik Nabers and Marvin Harrison. Turning 22 in April, McMillan will soon be one of the NFL's largest wide receivers, having measured in at 6-foot-4 1/4 and 219 pounds at the 2025 Combine. He didn't work out at the combine, instead waiting until his pro day, where reports put his 40-yard dash at between 4.48 and 4.55 seconds. That's below average for a WR in general, but above average for a receiver his size, and it didn't dissuade the Panthers from drafting McMillan eighth overall. It's a favorable landing spot to earn immediate playing time, with incumbent starters Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker having combined for 1,590 receiving yards last year. The biggest question, apart from McMillan needing to prove himself at the next level, is whether Bryce Young's improvement late last season will continue into 2025 and give Carolina decent QB play for the first time in years.

Selected by Carolina at No.8
The Panthers selected McMillan in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, eighth overall.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Was Dallas' target at pick 12
The Cowboys were targeting McMillan with the 12th overall pick and would have drafted the wide receiver had he not come off the board to Carolina eighth overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
McMillan has a chance to emerge as the clear top option in Carolina's passing game as opposed to beginning his career as Dallas' No. 2 wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb. On the other hand, veteran quarterback Dak Prescott would have provided a higher floor relative to Bryce Young, who is still unproven heading into his third season with the Panthers. McMillan was the first wide receiver drafted in 2025 after recording 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns at Arizona in 2024.
