Tetairoa McMillan talks Patriots defense | Carolina Panthers

How’s your calf? How you feeling? I feel good. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good maintenance day. What? Whatever you want to call it. I think they they was just being cautious. You expect him to play Sunday? Yeah, I’m expecting to play. Uh Bryce just said uh nothing you do on the field really surprises him more as far as the sort of acrobatic catches that that has social media uh all Hall of Fame. Have you made a play in the NFL that has surprised you or maybe you know what I’m saying? Like just like oh that was that was pretty nice like impressed yourself. Nah, not really. You know, at the end of the day, my job is to make a play and, you know, I feel like I can make any play that I possibly can make. So, I feel like no play has surprised me yet. See what happens. Where does that confidence come from for you? Have you always had it? Uh, yeah. I mean, I I’ve been fortunate enough to play at such a high level at every single level of the game, whether it’s youth, high school, um, college, and now the pros. So, uh, just being able to play against those top guys day in and day out. I think that’s where my confidence came from for sure. Offense moved the ball pretty effectively against Atlanta. You didn’t have long fields to work with, but overall, how did you guys feel the operation has gone? Is it seems like it’s improved since week one? Oh, yeah. I mean, most definitely. You know, day by day we we getting better. So, um, and you know, that’s a goal. You know, we want to get better every single day. Um, you know, we just gonna continue to strive and, you know, hopefully this Sunday we’ll be better than what we were last week. What are you seeing from that Patriots secondary? Um, you know, I know they got some veteran guys and also some young guys. Uh, we’ll see what happens with um, obviously they star guy in Christian Gonzalez. So, um, you know, I’m always looking for that kind of competition. So, hopefully, you know, he plays, but um, you know, for for the most part, you know, they’re pretty they’re pretty vanilla. You know, what what you see is what you’re going to get. So, um, you know, we’re we’re creating a good game plan and we’ll see what happens. What’s the highest you think you’ve ever jumped? It was that game. Uh, I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I’m probably I probably jumped the highest in a volleyball game or something. Do you remember what you had at the combo from the jump cut? I I didn’t do I didn’t do No, no, no, no, sir. When was the last time you did test your 40? Not your 40. I’m sorry. Vertical. You’re vertical. Uh, I don’t know. I don’t know. I can’t I can’t I I don’t know. No, I I I don’t know. Mine came. Will you just take us through that play again? What play is that? The third down where you went up, jumped to the jump of the building. Jumped out of the building. Bro, I did see that video. That That’s funny. That video is funny. But um uh really, you know, obviously uh you know, I had a choice route. uh wanted the slant, but you know, he he wobbed me off and um I had to go outside and you know, Bryce just threw the ball where only I can get it and um like I said, I got to go convert on third down and go make a play. Did you think you were going to get it or were you like, whoa, I got to really Oh, no. No. I always think I’m going try to get the ball, man. But uh um well that kind that play was designed for me. So I I knew I was getting the ball one way or the other. But um yeah, like I said, Bryce put in a good spot and you know, I had to just go make a play. It’s almost like you got a second jump in there or something. You jumped and then kind of went higher. No, no, no. This ain’t this ain’t Mario, man. This ain’t Mario, dog. Uh I just, you know, I just I saw the ball. You see ball, get ball, and that’s all I did. But that’s what Tommy called it. Mario jumping. Who? Who? Tommy. Yeah. I don’t know. He played too much video games. Volleyball kind of coming into play. Just being able to go up that high. Oh yeah, most definitely. You know, I give volleyball a lot of credit for, you know, my successes on the field and just being able to high point the ball and my body control in the air and, you know, all that definitely played a factor in that play on Sunday. Heat. Heat. N.

The rookie spoke about what he’s seen from New England’s defense heading into Sunday.
