Rankings and Analysis

Pro Football Focus: No. 3 overall (No. 1 WR) “McMillan has All-Pro potential because of his length, athleticism and football intelligence. He’s a smooth criminal of a receiver who was the focal point of Arizona’s offense. He is a unique talent who deserves to be considered in the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft.”

“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.”

“McMillan uses his hands and release package to get off press coverage. He snaps his head around and separates with strength at the top of routes. He doesn’t explode out of breaks, but he can sink his hips, plant and change directions on sharp breaking routes. McMillan finds windows and works back to the ball against zone looks.”
