Tetairoa McMillan on scoring his first touchdown of his NFL career | Carolina Panthers

touchdowns finally. Oh man, it felt good. It felt good. Did you find your granddad in the crowd afterwards or were you able to Oh, yeah. I knew where he was before the game even started. So, why was that important to you? What that is? Getting the touchdowns. Uh, I mean, it wasn’t really that important. It’s just, you know, God never makes a mistake. So, you I was fortunate enough to score today and it just so happened to be on my on my grand my grandpa birthday. So, um, you know, that’s obviously a blessing. You had an early drop that led to an interception. How nice to bounce back and get those two catches in the end zone and get the win. Uh yeah, I just got to be better on that for sure. Um you know, I got I take down for sure. Uh you know, I just got to have just got to be able to catch the ball and not give up a turnover. So, um, you know, I put the defense in bad field position, but, um, you know, they they answered back and, you know, they helped the offense, you know, get back on the field and, um, they had big huge stops. So, shout out to the defense for behind my back on that for you to to make that bounce back, too. And, and you didn’t have to drop the rest of the game. Oh, yeah. No, I I I just got to flush all that out and um, just play the next play. And, you know, my my my coaches and uh, the players were were harping me harping to me about that. So, um, you know, just flushing it out and finishing the game. Team back with those touchdowns, you were pretty open. Can you just take us through what you were able to do? Like, maybe it start with the first one, what you were able to do to kind of get free. Um, around background maybe. No, I can’t give you the plays. Nah. But, uh, uh, just know that, you know, they they put me in a good position to get open. Did you get the ball from your first touchdown? For sure. I walked to the sideline with that in my hand. Where’s Where’s it going? H That’s a good question. Uh we’ll figure that one out. Is grandma a a a candidate to potentially get the ball? Uh the grandpa more than anything. I’ll probably give it to him actually. How would you compare the way this team is executing now to maybe at the start of the season? Oh yeah. Yeah, I mean obviously in the beginning of the season we struggled a little bit just um you know every week we got we got new um things that we’re we’re harping on just you know finishing and starting and um you know we just trying to put it all together you know so day by day we trying to get better and better and um you know translate to to to the next weekend week about about Rico. I mean are you kind of running out of ways to describe him? He almost went for two again today, man. I mean, film don’t lie, man. Everybody in the Bank of America Stadium can see what number five is doing out there. And um you know, he’s a big part of this reason why this offense is going. Um you know, so shout out to Rico. Um you know, just driving us down the field, finishing plays, and um man, he’s doing his thing for sure. Second straight week, Bryce has had a big fourth down completion on a game-winning drive. What are you learning about your uh your quarterback? I know it’s you not been around him that long, but what do you Yeah, I mean, it’s it’s not anything that I’ve never seen before and that I didn’t already know. You know, he’s he’s a dude that a competitor. Um you know, he’s willing to finish finish a play, finish drives, and um you know, he’s going to count on um himself and everybody else to make a play. So, and obviously, you know, last two weeks you see him doing that on fourth down. So, um you know, shout out to Bryce for sure. Hey,
