Tetairoa McMillan Has 'True Star-Level Tools', NFL Exec Says Ahead of 2025 Draft

Tetairoa McMillan may be the best wide receiver available in the 2025 NFL draft, and one executive from a 2024 playoff team has sky-high expectations for the Arizona product.

"He's got true star-level tools and elite production," the executive said in a Wednesday report from Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. "Our entire building loves him. There's just no way he makes it to us."

Schultz compared McMillan to Mike Evans given his size at 6'4" and 219 points, while B/R's NFL Scouting Department listed him as the best receiver in the draft and the pass-catcher with the top hands in its latest big board.

B/R also projected him to go No. 8 overall to the Carolina Panthers in its most recent mock draft.

Production was not a question with McMillan, who posted 1,402 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 2023 and followed up with 1,319 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 2024.

His ability to win one-on-one balls stood out during his collegiate career and suggests he can be quite the red-zone threat in the NFL. He also ran a 4.48-second 40-yard dash during a private workout, underscoring his excellent speed for his size.

Between the speed and overall athleticism and the size to pose matchup problems for opposing secondaries, there is plenty to like when it comes to McMillan's game.

While the 2025 draft features a number of potential future impact players at wide receiver in Matthew Golden, Emeka Egbuka, Tre Harris, Luther Burden III and others, McMillan may have the highest ceiling.

And that could set him up to be a top-10 pick come draft day.
