Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan was already expected to be a big part of the team’s passing game, according to Joseph Person of The Athletic, and now that the team has traded away WR Adam Thielen (to the Minnesota Vikings) and WR Jalen Coker (quad) has landed on Injured Reserve, Person believes McMillan will top 1,000 yards in receiving as a rookie. Person adds that McMillan and QB Bryce Young developed chemistry working out together before the draft, and Young will ‘rely heavily’ on McMillan this season.
