For only the fifth time in their history, a period of 31 sketches of the NFL, the Carolina Panthers Used a first round selection on a wide receiver. It is quite interesting that Tetairoa McMillan of the University of Arizona, in April, follows the choice of Xavier Legette of the University of South Carolina with the 32nd overall choice in 2024.
Of course, McMillan was taken with the eighth overall selection last month. Regarding the other three large large expanses by the Panthers in the first round, he started with Rae Carruth (Colorado) in 1999, followed by Kelvin Benjamin (Florida State) in 2014 and DJ Moore (Maryland) in 2018. Carruth went to 27th, Benjamin 28th and Moore 24th, respectively. Therefore, the target of 6’4 ”, 219 pounds is the most written wide receiver In the history of the franchise.
Here are some interesting figures with regard to the recruits of the panthers and their production as a pass sensors. Regarding receptions, the ball carrier Christian McCaffrey has the team record with 80 seizures in 2017. As for receiving yards and touched sockets, The two brands belong to Benjamim. In ’14, he totaled 73 receptions (the second largest by a recruit of the Panthers), good for 1,008 yards and nine scores.
Is it really possible that, since the resurgence at the end of the season of the quarter of the quarter Young, combined with the talents of McMillan, could lead to an unprecedented campaign for a recruit of the panthers? During his second season with the Wildcats, the latter totaled 90 catches for 1,402 yards and 10 scores. In 2024, he finished with 84 catches for 1,319 yards and eight affected. There is obviously a big difference between the university and the pros, but do not be shocked if McMillan made a huge impression in his first season.
