Scouting Report: Strengths
- McMillan fights his way off the line of scrimmage against press coverage, showing quick, violent hands and good balance.
- He can be nearly unbeatable on contested-catch opportunities, not only because of his length and explosive leaping ability but also because of his strong hands and outstanding body control.
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; McMillan should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
- He has a tapered build and strong hands, ripping the ball back with ease when defensive backs manage to get a hold of it.
- He combines good speed with his size, and he accelerates off the line better than most big receivers.
- He’s a precise route runner, creating separation when used on quick outs and stop patterns in college. McMillan has good stop-start ability and lateral agility.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and he shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
- While McMillan has the athleticism to be a catch-and-run threat, he never seemed comfortable catching, gathering, and transitioning to a runner.
- McMillan seems comfortable in traffic to the point where he doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
