Between now and the NFL draft, we will be highlight prospects for the Jaguars. Up first is Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan.
It's NFL draft month. So between now and when the first round begins, we will be highlighting prospects who could be of interest to the
Jacksonville Jaguars . Up first is Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
Stats to know
Over the last two seasons, McMillan has totaled a whopping 260 targets during that span. He's gone on to haul in 67% of those passes and an impressive 15.6 yards per catch with 18 touchdowns,
according to PFF . In 2024 specifically, McMillan's 1,316 receiving yards were the second-most among receivers in all of college football, and his 15.7 yards per catch ranked 17th out of 87 eligible receivers. McMilland was a frequent downfield target in the Arizona offense, with his 31 targets of at least 20 yards being the sixth-most in college football.
Pairing McMillan and Brian Thomas Jr. would give the Jaguars two receivers who are capable of attacking all levels of the field and can each line up out wide or in the slot. This then gives Liam Coen a variety of ways that he can attack opposing defenses. On the roster, there are players like Dyami Brown, Gabe Davis, and Parker Washington who could fill that No. 2 role alongside of Thomas, but it's also not a guarantee that any of them consistently provide that presence either, so adding to the receiver position early on should be on the Jaguars' radar.
NFL draft profile
"Possession receiver with the size and ball skills to create big wins deep. He’s a linear route-runner who wears press coverage early and coasts too often on deep routes, but he has a feel for uncovering underneath and can play over the top of cornerbacks for easier jump-ball wins. McMillan is instinctive with a feel for adjusting his routes and working back on throws to make the quarterback’s job easier. He needs to show more consistent play speed and physicality to protect his workspace. His elite ball skills set him apart, though, providing a higher floor as a “Z” option with mismatch value in the slot."
