Milestones such as 100-yard games and 1,000-yard seasons are often barometers that validate a receiver’s potential, and if they confirmed anything during 2025’s Week 2, it’s that Tetairoa McMillan could already be on the inside track to pass-catching excellence. Turning Carolina’s early double-digit deficit — and thus, a pass-heavy game script — into a positive, McMillan made his slant pattern a must-see, speeding into Arizona territory during a 40-yard catch-and-run. It became that type of game for McMillan, even during a 27-22 loss to the Cardinals, as he captained the Panthers’ offense through a six-catch, 100-yard output on Sept. 14, 2025.
